Procedure

1. Line the sides and base of a slow cooker pot with baking parchment.
2. Combine the flours in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in the salt, sugar, soda, and herbs.
4. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the buttermilk and milk.
5. Mix to form a soft dough.
6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface.
7. Knead briefly, then shape into a round shape to fit the slow cooker pot.
8. Transfer to the slow cooker pot. Using a sharp, floured knife, score a cross in the top.
9. Cover the pot with a towel, then cover with the lid.
10. Cook on high for 2 hours. Check that the bread is soft but set at top and crusty on the bottom and sides. If not, cook for 10 more minutes and check.
11. Remove the bread from the slow cooker and let it cool for 20 minutes.
12. Serve warm or at room temperature.
