Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with flour.
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Make a well in the centre, then add the honey, treacle and buttermilk. Mix lightly with your hands to form a loose, wet dough.
With floured hands, divide into two rounds and place on the prepared sheet.
Use a serrated knife to cut a deep cross across each loaf, about two-thirds through.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped underneath.
Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
