- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking soda and salt. Add the oil and buttermilk. Stir until a sticky dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough lightly and shape into a 6-inch round. With a sharp knife, cut an X in the top of the dough.

Place the round on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. The crust should be brown and will give a hollow sound when thumped.
