Gather @whole wheat flour{300%g} and @all-purpose flour{200%g}.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and whisk both flours, @baking soda{1%tsp} and @salt{1%tsp} together in a large bowl.

Make a well and pour in the @buttermilk{420%ml}; mix quickly with one hand into a soft, shaggy, slightly wet dough.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat gently into a round loaf about 4cm thick.

Set on a floured baking sheet and cut a deep cross through the top with a sharp knife — this helps the thick center cook through.

Bake 40 minutes, until deep brown and hollow-sounding when the base is tapped. ~{40%minutes}

Cool on a rack at least 15 minutes before slicing. ~{15%minutes}
