It also makes outstanding toast smoothered with local Irish butter or topped with slices of Irish cheedar cheese and sliced onion, as I foundly remeber as a child.
If you have never tried to make bread before, this is a perfect introduction. It is very straight forward and quick to make, so do give it a go, you'll never buy store bought again!!!
Ingredients;
170g wholemeal flour
85g self raising flour
55g oatmeal
55g bran
½tsp baking soda
28g caster sugar
½tsp salt
85g unsalted butter, softened
350ml buttermilk
Method;
Preheat the oven to 180c.
In a bowl large enough to hold all of the ingredients, place all of the dry ingredients. Mix together well.
Rub in the softened butter to incorporate. Slowly add all of the buttermilk mixing by hand as you go. Making sure that all of the dry ingredients are mixed into a wet dough.
It is best to make the wheaten by hand and not in a mixing machine, this way the gluten in the flour will not be work too much and it will leave the finished bread light and crumbly.
Butter a loaf tin well and dust lightly with wholemeal flour.
Spoon the mix into the loaf tin and bake in a pre heat oven for 40-45mins.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
