Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Red Spring Flour Wyoming Heritage Grains
  • 2 cups Gazelle Rye Flour Wyoming Heritage Grains
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup Rolled Oats GF Harvest
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp molasses

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients: both flours, oats, salt and baking soda. Mix thoroughly all the dry ingredients.
  • Whisk buttermilk and molasses. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the buttermilk mixture.
  • Using a fork or spatula, stir gradually until combined.
  • With floured hands, knead into a ball.
  • Shape the dough into a circle and place on a lined baking sheet. Press flat to about 2 inches thick. It will form a round loaf about 8 inches in diameter.
  • With a sharp knife cut a deep cross on top of the ball.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 450°F. Reduce the heat to 400°F then bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the bottom of the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
