Ingredients

  • 2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 2-3 tbsp honey (depending on how sweet you want it)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease well.
  • Whisk flours, sea salt, and baking soda together in large mixing bowl.
  • In another bowl or large measuring cup with a spout, whisk honey and buttermilk together. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the honey buttermilk mixture into the well. Use a fork to quickly stir the dough together. It will look kind of shaggy. Do not mix until smooth!
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together. Do not overwork the dough! Form the dough into a large mound about 7 to 8 inches in diameter. Transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Place in oven and reduce heat to 375 degrees F. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until deep golden on top and it sounds hollow when knocked on.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with butter and jam, if desired. Goes very well with tea and coffee. It is also very good toasted.
