Method

Let the bread rest in the dish for 5 minutes before cooling on a rack.

Mix the flours, sea salt, sugar, and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl.

Pour in the buttermilk and bring the mixture together to form a soft dough.

Preheat the oven to 220°C and place a large casserole dish and its lid inside.

Quickly shape the dough into a shallow round loaf about 4cm thick.

Remove the hot dish from the oven, dust with flour, and place the dough inside.

Cover with the lid and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
