Method

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

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

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

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

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.

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