Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the malted wheat flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
2
Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. The dough should come together in a shaggy mass.
3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
