[edit] Ingredients

7 oz (200 g) flour
5 1⁄3 oz (150 g) whole wheat flour
7⁄8 oz (25 g) sugar
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) baking powder
1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
1 egg
8 1⁄8 fl oz (250 ml) buttermilk
1 oz (30 g) butter
some extra whole wheat flour , for dusting

[edit] Steps

Set the oven to 190ºC (375ºF/ gas mark 5).
Pour into the mixer, the flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and the butter. Lower the hook and mix for 1 minute. Whilst still mixing add the egg and the buttermilk. Continue mixing until it blends together. When fully blended, dust your hands and the dough with a little flour and remove.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it onto the prelined baking tray. Sprinkle the top with a dusting of flour and make an "X" on the top of the dough. Place the tray into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool completely by placing it on top of an inverted fork - it will cool quicker this way - and serve!
