I took a buttermilk scone recipe and threw in some olives, salami, cheese, parsley and basil and made myself a nice hunk of pizza bread. Yeast-free and pretty delicious!


INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar (I used stevia equivalent)
  • pinch of salt
  • 60g butter, chopped
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
  • 50g Danish salami, finely chopped (I’d opt for a sausage instead of pre-sliced)
  • 1/3 cup grated pizza cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 tbsp dried basil

METHOD:

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Sift flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add butter.
  3. Using fingertips, rub butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  4. Make a well in center of mixture. Add buttermilk. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until just smooth.
  6. Roll dough into a 20cm round. Place on prepared tray. Score into 8 wedges (don’t cut all the way through).
  7. Brush with a little extra buttermilk
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until hollow when tapped on top.
