Ingredients:
- 500g plain white flour/wholemeal flour mixed

- 300ml ‘buttermilk’*
Method:
1. Preheat oven to gas 6/electric 200°C.
2. Place the dry ingredients into a large bowl; add the liquid.
3. Mix to make a rough sticky dough.
4. Tip dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
5. Shape the dough into a ball.
6. Dust the dough with flour and score a deep cross on the top with a bread knife.
7. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the bread is cooked through. When you tap the base it should sound hollow. Cool on a wire rack.
*Dairy free ‘buttermilk’ can be made by adding 4 tsp cider vinegar to 300ml soya milk. Stir and leave for 10 minutes before using.
