pinch salt

60 gram butter, chopped

1 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped

1 3/4 cup buttermilk

Method

1.Preheat oven to very hot, 220°C. Lightly grease a large baking tray.

2.Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl. Add butter. Rub in lightly, using fingertips, until mix resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in walnuts, rosemary and ginger.

3.Make a well in the centre of flour. Pour in buttermilk all at once. Using a butter knife, mix lightly into a soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix.

4.Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly. Roll out to form a 20 x 30cm rectangle.

5.Place on prepared oven tray. Indent dough with fingertips, placing a tomato into each indent. Sprinkle with rosemary.

6.Bake for 15-20 minutes until bread is golden and firm. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with fruit, cheese and pickles of choice.

Don’t overwork the dough or you’ll get tough bread.
