Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
2
Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Cut a cross in the top of the loaf with a sharp knife, then bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
