Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 500g plain wholemeal flour
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary (optional)
  • 400ml whole milk
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tsp honey

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together the flour, salt and bicarb in a bowl. And if you’d like rosemary bread, add the chopped rosemary too.
  • Mix together the milk and lemon juice in a jug, and wait for a minute as it magically turns into buttermilk. Then stir in the honey, and simply pour it into the flour mixture. Stir it with a knife for a minute until the whole thing comes together into a sticky dough.
  • Tip onto a floured work surface and shape it into a ball.
  • Put the ball on a floured baking tray and, using a sharp knife, make a deep cross on top.
  • Put in the oven and bake for 40 mins.
  • Cool on a wire rack until warm, then slice and serve.
