-
400g plain white flour

1 tsp salt
-
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
-
300ml buttermilk
-
55ml water
-
handful of mixed herbs, chopped

55g charcuterie, we like using Fennel & White Pepper Salami but this recipe works with all cured meat, chopped
METHOD
STEP 1
Preheat your oven to 220C. Place a baking sheet on the top shelf to get it nice and hot.
STEP 2
Sift the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre.
STEP 3
Mix the buttermilk and water together. Using a wooden spoon or a knife, stir the liquid gradually into the dry ingredients. The get your hands into the bowl and mix bringing it together to form a soft dough.
STEP 4
Turn your dough out on a well floured surface and pull at the sides until it forms a rough rectangular shelf. Sprinkle your charcuterie, tomatoes and herbs on top, then roll in to a log shape.
STEP 5
Place on to your baking sheet, scoring the top with a knife and dust again with flour.
STEP 6
Turn your oven down to 200C and bake on the top shelf for 35 minutes until lightly browned and hollow sounding when tapped underneath.
STEP 7
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
