Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

4 1/4 To 4-1/2 cups whole wheat 1 ts Salt
-graham flour 2 ts Butter or margarine, cut in
4 ts Baking powder -small pieces
1/2 ts Baking soda 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.
