Preheat oven to 190øC. Grease a baking tray with melted butter or
margarine.

Sift flours and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl. Use
sufficient buttermilk to moisten the ingredients and form a soft dough the
amount of buttermilk required will depend on the strength of the flour.

Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly untill smooth. Place
round on a greased baking tray. With a floured knife score a deep cross,
one third of the depth of the dough. Brush with water and sprinkle with a
little flour.

Bake for 2030 minutes, or until bread sounds hollow when tapped with the
fingers.

Hint: No yeast is used in this bread, Bicarbonate of soda and buttermilk
give rise, texture and flavour. If buttermilk is unavailable use sour milk.
Add one teaspoon of lemon juse or vinegar to each cup of milk. Allow to
stand
15 minutes before using.
