Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet or tray
  • Sheet of baking paper
  • Serrated bread knife

Ingredients
  

  • 375 g Plain white flour
  • ¾ tsp Sea salt (Maldon if you have it)
  • ¾ tsp Bicarbonate of soda
  • 284 ml Buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
  • Place a sheet of baking paper onto the bakingtray or sheet.
  • Add all the ingredients to the mixing bowl mix and bring together with your hands to form a dough.
  • If the dough seems too dry, add a splash of milk to the mix. 
  • Generously flour your work surface and tip out the dough onto the flour.
  • Gently shape the dough into a round shape and lightly roll all sides in the flour so they're covered.
  • Place the loaf on the lined tray.
  • Using a bread knife cut a line into the middle of the dough stopping once you get half way through. Then turn and cut another line halfway through to form a cross (see image).

  • Bake in the oven for around 30 minutes until the loaf is golden brown and crunchy on the top - it should also hear a hollow sound when you knock on the base of the loaf.
  • Leave to cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
