Servings 1 loaf / 8 wedges

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar (superfine)
  • pinch salt
  • 60 g butter chilled, chopped
  • 1 cup buttermilk (substitute = 1tbsp lemon juice + 85ml milk - stand for 5min)
  • 50 g danish salami finely chopped
  • ¼ cup kalamata olives finely chopped
  • cup pizza cheese (mix of mozzarella and cheddar)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • dips - hummus, french onion, pesto to serve

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Position oven rack in the top half of oven.
  • Sift flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add salami, olives, cheese and parsley.
  • Make a well in centre of mixture. Add just over 3/4 cup buttermilk. Using a flat-bladed knife, stir until a sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until just smooth (dough may stick to hands so you can use baking paper to help you knead - do not over knead)
  • Roll dough into a 20cm round. Place on prepared tray. Cut round into 8 wedges (don't cut all the way through).
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until hollow when tapped on top. Serve with dips.
  • NOTE: This recipe can be used to make BUTTERMILK SCONES. Omit toppings and cut 6cm rounds from 2cm thick dough. Brush buttermilk on tops and bake for 12-15mins or until hollow when tapped.
