In a large bowl, combine 490 g of Kim's multi-grain bread flour blend, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, mixing with a large spoon.

Add 2 tablespoons (28 g) of cold BU butter to the flour mixture and break it up with fingers until it resembles breadcrumb consistency.

Pour in 600 mL of buttermilk and mix with hands until combined; the dough will be very wet.

Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and flatten it into a round shape about 8 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick.

Cut a deep cross into the center of the dough, known as blessing the bread.

Brush the top of the dough with leftover buttermilk and sprinkle with a handful of gluten-free oats if desired.

Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes until crusty and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cut into the bread while still warm, noting that it may compress the bread.
