3 c Whole-wheat flour
(preferably stone ground)
1 c All-purpose flour
2 ts Salt
1 ts Baking soda
3/4 ts Baking powder
1 1/2 To 2 cups buttermilk (or
Powdered equivalent)
Combine dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. add enough buttermilk to
make a soft dough similar to biscuit dough, but firm enough to hold
its shape. Knead for a few minutes on a lightly floured board until
smooth and velvety. Form into a round loaf and place in a
well-buttered 8 inch cake pan or buttered cookie sheet. Cut a cross
on top of loaf . Bake at 375 degress for 35 to 40 minutes or until
loaf is nicely browned and sounds hollow when rapped with knuckles.
Let loaf cool before slicing very thin. Serve with plenty of sweet
butter.
