Mixing:
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and the oil or butter. Stir together until blended—some lumps will remain.
Shaping:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead about 10 times, or until it all holds together.
- Form it into a large ball and place it on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cut a deep cross in the top.
Baking:
- Bake the bread in a preheated 400°F oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until it tests done (a cake tester inserted into the center will come out clean.)
