Ingredients

  • 1 pound wholemeal flour
  • 4 ounces plain flour
  • 2 ounces rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 pint buttermilk

Method

  • Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add enough buttermilk to form a soft dough and turn out onto a lightly floured board. Knead the dough very lightly and do not overwork or bread will develop gluten and become tough.
  • Shape into a large round and place on a greased baking tray. Cut a deep cross in the top of the round.
  • Bake at 450F for 8-15 minutes. reduce temperature to 400F for 20-25 minutes until load sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
