Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter melted
  • 4 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Coat a pie plate or 8x8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the flours, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, stir buttermilk, egg and melted butter together.
  • Make a well in the center of the bowl of flour mixture. Pour the buttermilk into the well. Use your hands to work the flour into the buttermilk until a loose dough forms.
  • Dump the dough onto a work surface and bring the dough together into a ball. Place the dough ball into the prepared baking dish and flatten it slightly into a disc shape.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the dough. Brush the top of the loaf with extra buttermilk.
  • Bake for 50 minutes, until the exterior is golden brown. Cool in the baking dish for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until the bread reaches room temperature.
