Ingredients

  • 175g cream flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • sea salt

  • 150g parsnip, grated

  • 100g strong cheddar, grated

  • black pepper

  • 1 heaped tbsp thyme leaves

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 2-3 tbsp whole milk

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  2. In large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, grated parsnip, grated cheese and thyme leaves.

  3. Create a well in the mix and add the egg.

  4. Add two tablespoons of milk and start to bring together the ingredients into a rough dough with your hands.

  5. Add another tablespoon of milk if the dough is too dry or it isn’t quite coming together. Knead it a little in the bowl but not too much and then form into a round.

  6. Place the rounded dough on a lined baking sheet, with a little bit of olive oil brushed onto it.

  7. Place in the oven for 40 - 45 minutes until golden brown.
