Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1.75 cups wholewheat flour
  • 1.5 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1.75 cup buttermilk
  • 2-3 tbsp. flour if needed
  • 1 tsp. oil for greasing your baking pan
  • 2 tbsp. mixed seeds or oats for sprinkling on top optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C or 400 F for 7-8 minutes.
  • Mix together both the flours, salt, baking soda and honey.
  • Now add buttermilk to it and mix together till you get a dough. In case you don’t have buttermilk, refer to pro tips for a quick and easy shortcut.
  • Knead the dough a few times and form a round shape. In case your dough is too sticky to knead add a bit of flour to make it more manageable. Don’t overknead though. Just 8-10 times to form a round shape is enough.
  • Now with a knife make a cross going through the center of the bread and about 1 cm. deep. This is important so that your bread cooks through the center evenly.
  • Now transfer to a greased baking tray or even a cast iron skillet and bake for about 40 minutes. Baking time may slightly vary depending upon your oven so do keep an eye on the bread after about 35 minutes.
  • To check if the bread is done, tap the bottom (I know it is hot) and it should sound hollow when cooked.
  • Take it out of the oven and let it completely cool down. Takes about 30 minutes.
  • Then slice with a serrated knife. Your delicious homebaked no yeast bread is ready. Have it with butter, peanut butter or whatever you fancy. It is deliciously soft with a nice dense crumb inside and a thick crust outside. Enjoy!

Notes

1. You could use only plain flour for a less dense crumb if you so like. I prefer half and half proportion as I have mentioned.
2. In case you don’t have buttermilk, take some cold milk (about 1.75 cups), add 2 tsp. lemon juice to it and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes so that it congeals slightly. Use this in place of buttermilk in the recipe.
3. You could replace honey with sugar if you so like but I prefer honey.
4. This crusty bread is best toasted.
5. This bread stays at room temperature for up to 3 days and in the fridge for a week. You can shrink wrap it or store in an airtight container in your fridge.
