Ingredients

  • 250g Wholemeal Flour
  • 150g Cream Flour
  • 5g Wheat Germ
  • 3g Wheat Bran
  • 5g Bread Soda
  • 8g Salt
  • 8g Brown Sugar
  • 320ml Buttermilk
  • 1 egg, beaten

Method

Measure out all dry ingredients and put them into a large bowl. Gently mix all dry ingredients together and make a small hole or well in the middle of the mix. Mix together the egg and buttermilk. Pour half of the liquid mixture into the hole in the middle of the dry mix. Work the dry mix from the sides of the bowl into the middle. The mix will start to stick together, then slowly add the rest of the liquid mixture and bind until all the liquid has gone into the mix. Take your baking tin and rub it with a little bit of soft butter all around to stop the bread from sticking. Put mix in tin and place in a preheated oven at 180°C/Gas Mark 4.

Bake for 30 mins then take the bread out of the tin and place back onto the oven rack and cook for another 20 mins. Take out and leave to cool on a wire tray then serve.
