Vera’s Brown Bread
Unlimited access. Half the price.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brown Flour (I use Howards Extra Course)
1 pint of Buttermilk
2 ozs. butter or margarine
Good Handful of Bran
Good Handful of Oats
Sprinkle of milled Flaxseed
2 level teaspoons of Bread Soda
Poppy or Chia seeds to sprinkle on top
Method
- Place all dry ingredients in the bowl (apart from the chia or poppy seeds, they are for
sprinkling over at the end!)
Mix in the butter. (This is easier if the butter is nice and soft)
Mix in the buttermilk which should give it a porridge-like consistency.
Divide between two 1 lb bowls which have been well greased.
Sprinkle chia or poppy seeds on top.
Bake for about ¾ of an hour at gas 5 or 6.
Cool on a wire tray and wrap in a tea towel for the first 5-10 mins to keep in the moisture.
