What we call wheaten bread but it's wholemeal

[Ladygardener]

Tig and anyone else who fancies this, it takes 5mins to make and 40mins in the oven.

425g wholemeal flour
75g self raising flour
Tea spoon salt
2 Teaspoons of baking soda
1 pint of buttermilk
porridge oats to sprinkle on top or any sunflower or squash seeds or nothing at all whatever you fancy.

Put all dry ingredients into a bowl and stir until well mixed.
Make a hole in the centre and add the buttermilk and mix well so there is no dry flour around.

Pour into a prepared loaf tin (greased and then wholemeal flour added to cover)
Into oven at 190c for 20 mins then reduce oven to 160c for a further 20 mins. I made 2 loaves but Majella says if your loaf tin is bigger you could make just one with about the same length in the oven give 5 or 10 mins.

Keeps a couple of days and tastes delicious.

Thank you LG, that sounds quite simple, I'll add buttermilk to my shopping list and give it a go next week.

Do let us know how you get on Tig. Majella, the cook did say if you don't have buttermilk you can add lemon to ordinary semi skimmed milk and use that.

I've just googled and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per 250ml of semi-skimmed milk so just under 2 tablespoons in a pint should work. Thanks LG.

Tig when you make the well to add the milk, add a tablespoon of oil, forgot to write that on the main recipe and only realised this morning when I was making it.

Any particular sort of oil LG?

no Tig, I used veg oil but you could use sunflower or whatever you have.
