Fresh Bread
Having started to bake again last weekend I decided it was time to bake my own bread again. To get into it I made some quick wholemeal soda bread. This is how it looks:
If you want to bake your own bread as well, here's the recipe (It's a variation of a recipe I found in an article by Michael Bateman in the Independent on Sunday a few years ago). First the ingredients I used:
- 450g wholemeal flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 300 ml buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 egg
Then how you prepare it:
Preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas6. Take a large bowl and mix all ingredients together, first the "dry" then the "liquid" ingredients. Pour into a lightly oiled loaf tin. Bake for about 55 minutes (according the recipe. In my fan assisted oven 45-50 minutes seem to be enough, so be careful). Enjoy, preferably still warm from the oven.
I had the bread for breakfast and will probably have some more with my dinner. And tomorrow I will eat some Bremer Klaben, which I just put in the oven.
