Ingredients

  • 250g wholewheat flour

  • 180g plain flour

  • 20g porridge oats

  • 1 tbsp wheatgerm

  • 1 tsp bread soda

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • 350ml buttermilk

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 2 tsp honey

  • generous handful of hazelnuts, toasted and chopped

Method

  1. Heat your oven to 200°C. Oil a 2lb loaf tin and line the base of it with a strip of parchment.

  2. Mix the flours, porridge and wheatgerm together in a large bowl. Sieve in the bread soda and salt and stir them in well.

  3. Mix the buttermilk, egg and honey together.

  4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and stir in the wet. When everything is combined stir in the hazelnuts.

  5. Scoop the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 50 minutes until it is golden on top and a skewer comes out clean.

  6. Use the ends of the baking parchment to help you ease the loaf from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.
