Pre-heat the oven and rub some oil around the inside of a baking tray or insert a baking liner.

Place the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda in a mixing bowl and stir them together.

Add the seeds and stir again.

Pour the buttermilk into the bowl and fold together gently until all the dry flour is incorporated. It will be very sticky.

Once it is all together, take the dough out of the bowl and roll it around in some dry flour to make it easier to handle, then place on the baking tray.
