Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• 2 tablespoons margarine
• 1 teaspoon margarine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon margarine.

Step 2

Sift all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt together into a bowl; mix well. Add 2 tablespoons margarine and rub into flour mixture until crumbly. Pour milk over mixture and stir to form a soft, but not sticky dough.

Step 3

Dust your hands with flour and bring dough together, shaping into a ball. Place ball onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly. Cut an "x" on the top to divide it into quarters.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and risen, 20 to 25 minutes. The base should sound hollow when the loaf is lifted using a towel and you knock on it with your knuckles. Cool a wire rack.
