Servings: 2 loaves

Ingredients

  • 250 g Plain flour
  • 10 g Fine sea salt
  • 15 g Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 250 g Wholemeal Plain Flour
  • 150 g Jumbo Oats
  • 11/2 tbsp Clear Honey
  • 1 tbsp Black Treacle
  • 500 ml Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Make a well in the centre and then mix in the honey, treacle and buttermilk, working everything together lightly with your hands, until you have a loose, wet dough. With floured hands, shape the dough into a round and lift on to the lined baking sheet. With a knife or a wooden spatula mark a cross on the top.
  • Put into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Transfer to a wire rack, drape a damp cloth over the top and leave to cool.
