Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Step 2: Combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, sultanas and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl. Make a well and gradually add in the buttermilk. Using your hands, gently mix until mixture just comes together; do not knead dough or the bread won’t rise.
Step 3: Form the dough into 2 x 18 cm logs, place into two greased 22 cm x 11 cm loaf pans and, using a small knife, make a 3 cm-deep cut down the center of each loaf & scatter with some extra flour.
Step 4: Bake logs for 45 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover with a tea towel and stand for 20 minutes.
Step 5: Serve warm or toasted, with butter.
Step 6: NOTE: Store leftovers in a brown paper bag for up to 2 days.
