Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 1/4 To 4-1/2 cups whole wheat
-graham flour
4 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 t Salt
2 ts Butter or margarine, cut in
-small pieces
2 c Buttermilk

Heat oven to 350F. Grease a large cast-iron skillet
or baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix 4 C. flour
with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add
butter and rub it into the flour by scooping up
handfuls of the mixture and rubbing it between the
palms of your hands until pieces of butter are no
longer visible.

Add buttermilk to a bowl and stir with a wooden
spoon until mixture forms a dough. Sprinkle about
1/4 cup of remaining flour on a board. Turn out
dough and knead lightly for about 1 minute, working in
the flour from the board and forming dough into a
smooth, round loaf about 8 inches in diameter.

Put loaf, smooth side up, in prepared pan and cut a
deep cross in it, slicing three-fourths of the way
through the dough. Bake 55-60 minutes, or until loaf
sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Cool on a
wire rack.
