Optional Ingredients:
Mix the plain flour, bread soda and salt in a bowl.
Add the buttermilk and olive oil together, and pour into a well in the centre of the dry mix. Use your hands to bring the mix together, but don’t overmix, as the finished product will become dense.
Add any additional ingredients at this point, and mix until evenly distributed.
Place the mix on a floured surface and roughly shape into a circle, pat down the top of the dough. Cut 4 small lines across the top of the dough to create 8 wedge shapes, brush the wedge sections with a little extra buttermilk and sprinkle with chilli powder and salt, leave a gap where you cut the lines.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 30-35 minutes until the base sounds hollow to tap. Cool on a wire rack, then tear and share.
