olive oil or lard, for greasing250g/9oz plain flour1 level tsp salt1 level tsp bicarbonate of soda2 tsp soft brown sugar225 ml/8fl oz buttermilk or live yoghurt

Stir in the buttermilk or yoghurt, at first with a wooden spoon, then bringing it all together in a doughy mass with your hands. It should feel soft and firm, not sticky. Add a little more flour if the mixture is too wet.4. Knead the dough lightly in the bowl for about half a minute, until smooth, then shape it into a ball, as deep as you can make it. Place it on the greased Baking sheet. Slash a deep cross in the top of the loaf with a sharp knife. This will allow the bread to open out as the soda starts to work and expand the dough.5. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, then turn the oven down to 200C/400F/gas 6 and cook for another 15-20 minutes, until the base of the bread sounds hollow when you tap it.6. Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes, then cut it into thick slices and serve.
