Oat and seed bread

1 Loaf

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 ounces Self-raising wholemeal flour
4 ounces Medium oatmeal
1 ounce Sesame seeds
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Egg; beaten
½ pint Buttermilk
2 teaspoons Sesame seeds; to sprinkle

Directions

Here's a selection from the BBC Good Food Guide Nov. 96 1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Grease and line the base of an 18cm/7in square cake tin. Mix together the flour, oatmeal, sesame seeds, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a bowl. Mix well with your fingers to ensure that the bicarbonate is evenly distributed.

2. Make a well in the centre and pour in the egg and buttermilk and mix lightly to form a soft dough. Turn into the prepared tin, pressing the dough into the corners. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.

3. Bake for 35-40 mins until the bread is well risen and browned, remove from the tin and wrap in a clean tea towel until cool to keep the crust soft.

Fan ovens: preheat 180C for 5 mins, then cook for 35 mins.
