Ingredients

Method
  • 4 cups cake flour
  • 1 t bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 t salt
  • 525 ml buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 220ºC.  Lightly grease and flour a cake pan.

In a large bowl sieve and combine all the dry ingredients.

 

Add the buttermilk to form a sticky dough.  Place on floured surface and lightly knead  (not too much or all the gas will escape).

 

Shape into a round flat shape in a round cake pan and cut a cross in the top of the dough.

 

Cover the pan with another pan and bake for 30 minutes.  Remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

 

The bottom of the bread will have a hollow sound when tapped to show it is done.

 

Cover the bread in a tea towel and lightly sprinkle water on the cloth to keep the bread moist.
