Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F. Dust a baking tray (I actually use a pizza tray) with a little plain flour.
Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly. Tip in the buttermilk and stir to combine.
Keep stirring until the ingredients come together as a dough, then squidge together to form a ball.
Place the ball of dough on your baking tray and cut a deep cross in the centre. This is really important as it helps the centre of the bread to cook properly – so cut nice and deep, almost to the bottom.
If you wish, you can dust the loaf with a little flour, then place the bread in your preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Serve with soup, salad, or cheese, olives and cold meats.
