- Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 250g of wholemeal flour
- 100g of plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 5g of bicarbonate of soda
- 3g of salt
- 5g of caster sugar
- 50g of butter
- 250ml of buttermilk
- 150ml of milk
Instructions
- Brush a loaf tin with 25g of butter and sprinkle flour around the tin to coat the butter. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Make sure the bread ingredients are at room temperature – this will help the bicarb to raise the dough as it bakes. Alternatively, warm the milk to blood temperature before adding to the mix.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and sugar.
- Rub the remaining 25g of butter into the flour until the mix resembles breadcrumbs – this should take approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add the buttermilk and milk and mix until it has just come together – be careful not to over mix.
- Tip and scrape the dough into the prepared tin, cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for a further 20-25 minutes, or until done. The cooked loaf should produce a hollow sound when tapped on the base.
Notes
- The dough can also be baked in muffin tins for individual soda loaves by reducing the overall baking time to around 20–25 minutes.
