Wheaten Bread
Ingredients
- 350g wholemeal flour
- 100g strong white flour
- 300ml buttermilk
- 1 heaped tsp bicarbonate of soda (not baking powder)
- 1-2 tsp salt to taste
- 1 tbsp honey
- Oats to sprinkle on top
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 220°C.
- Sift flours, salt, honey, bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl.
- Add buttermilk and mix into a dough (you need to use your hands, don’t over knead or it will produce a tough loaf, you just want to mix the ingredients together).
- Form into a ball.
- Place onto a greased baking tray.
- Sprinkle with Oats
- Cut half way through the loaf with a sharp knife then again the other way to form a cross. This splits the bread into crusty sections.
- Cook for 30 mins, if you don’t like your bread very crusty cover with foil for the last 5 minutes or so. Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let it cool on a wire rack for 10-15 mins.
