Category: Cakes and Bakes
Ingredients
6oz/175g plain flour, sifted
1 ¼ level tsp/6ml baking soda
1 tsp/5ml salt
1-2 tsp/5-10ml sugar
4oz/ 115g coarse wheatmeal flour
4oz/115g bakers' bran (115g)
milk/buttermilk, as needed
Method
Mix dry ingredients well together and then add milk or buttermilk until mixture is soft, not wet.
Turn out on to well-floured surface and knead together, dusting with flour, but not over-working.
Form into a round and mark into four on
top, or put into loaf tin. Bake at 220°C/425°F/gas 7 for
approximately half an hour until base sounds hollow when
tapped.
Tip: I sometimes add a handful of coarsely chopped walnuts, or
dates or some finely chopped chilli.
