Ingredients
180g plain flour
340g Macroom extra-course wholemeal flour
2 tsp bread soda
1 tsp salt
1 egg
575ml buttermilk
70g Macroom oatmeal
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Butter a loaf tin.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flours, bread soda, salt and oatmeal to combine. Make a well in the centre.
Whisk together the egg and the buttermilk and pour into the dry mix. Using your hand as a claw, mix the ingredients together in a circular motion until combined.
Pour into the loaf tin and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes. Check with a skewer, if it comes out clean the bread should be done but make sure to tap the bottom, listening for that hollow sound just in case.
Cool on a wire rack.
