This delicious bread recipe is easy to make and works great with breakfast. Remember to make a large X shape on-top of the bread. This recipe makes about 24 slices.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Whole-wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Wheat germ
• 2 tsp Baking soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 cups Buttermilk, low-fat
• 1 Egg, lightly beaten

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Have a baking tray at the ready.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ, baking soda and salt. Combine (use a whisk).
3. Add the buttermilk and egg. Mix with hands until fully combined.
4. Flour the counter top and place the dough on top.
5. Gently kneed for 8-10 minutes. Please note the dough will be sticky.
