Ingredients

  • 400g plain flour, sieved
  • 1 tsp bread soda, sieved

  • 1 tsp caraway seeds

  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • 1 egg

  • enough buttermilk to make up 475mls along with the egg

  • 45g of butter melted

Method

  1. Line a large flat baking tray with parchment. Preheat your oven to 250°C.

  2. Mix all of the dry ingredients until combined and make a well in the centre.

  3. Crack the egg into a measuring jug and then pour in the buttermilk until you have 475mls. Stir in the melted butter. Add this to the dry ingredients and combine everything.

  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead slightly for a few seconds. Shape it into a round and place it on your baking tray. Make a cross in the top of the loaf with the back of a bread knife.

  5. Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes then turn the temperature down to 200°C and continue to bake for a further 35 minutes. When the loaf is baked through it should sound hollow when you tap the base.
