Bran and Honey Loaf
A dark bran-rich loaf made with buttermilk and a squeeze of honey
Servings: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 3 cups bran-rich self-raising flour
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds or nuts of your choice Plus some extra for topping the loaf.
- 500 ml buttermilk
- 1 t bicarbonate of soda
- 1 t salt
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl using a wooden spoon.
- Add the honey and buttermilk and mix until all the dry ingredients have been incorporated. Don't over mix.
- Spoon the mixture into a greased loaf tin (23 x 13 x 6cm) and scatter a few nuts or seeds on top.
- Bake for 45 minutes until the loaf is golden brown on top and pulls away from the sides of the loaf tin.
- Turn the loaf out of the tin after 5 minutes and let it cool down completely before slicing.
Notes
- Tip: spray your measuring spoon with non-stick spray or dunk it into hot water before measuring out the honey.
- I like using sunflower seeds for this recipe. The original recipe also suggested trying a handful of cereal instead of the seeds.
