- 190° c - 370° f
Step 1: You will need:
- 200 g flour
- 150 g whole wheat flour
- 25 g sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg
- 240 ml buttermilk
- 30 g butter
- some extra whole wheat flour, for dusting
- 1 mixer with hook attachment
- 1 knife
- 1 baking tray lined with parchment paper
Step 2: Preheat the oven
Set the oven to 190ºC (375ºF/ gas mark 5).
Step 3: Make the dough
Pour into the mixer, the flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and the butter. Lower the hook and mix for 1 minute. Whilst still mixing add the egg and the buttermilk. Continue mixing until it blends together. When fully blended, dust your hands and the dough with a little flour and remove.
Step 4: Bake
Shape the dough into a ball and place it onto the prelined baking tray. Sprinkle the top with a dusting of flour and make an "X" on the top of the dough. Place the tray into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
Step 5: Cool and serve
After 40 minutes, remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool completely by placing it on top of an inverted fork - it will cool quicker this way - and serve!
