Cooking mode
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and prepare a baking tray.
  2. Add the apple cider vinegar to a measuring jug, then add the milk and set aside for 2 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flours, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Add the buttermilk and mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead lightly in the bowl for 1 minute. Add a little extra flour if needed.
  5. Form a ball of dough and place on the baking tray. Cut a deep cross in the centre, almost to the bottom. Bake for 25–30 minutes until a golden crust forms. The loaf should sound hollow when tapped underneath.
  6. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
