Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or use more all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar lightly packed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sparkling water
2 tablespoons salted butter melted (plus a little more room temperature butter to grease the loaf pan)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F; grease a 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan with butter.
Whisk together the flours, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Stir the buttermilk and sparkling water into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, being careful not to over-mix.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan, drape a piece of plastic wrap on top, and let it sit in a warm place for 5 minutes.
Pour the melted butter on top. Bake until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Cool completely before slicing.
