Mountain Bread

This is another Nigella based recipe with a few tweaks. It is one of the easiest bread recipes there are and absolutely scrummy with Lime Curd (posted under recipe tab)

250ml Milk

250ml Water (warm)

350g Wholemeal Bread Flour

50g Rye Flour

15g Fresh Yeast (or 7g easy bake yeast)

50g Porridge Oats (not instant)

25g Wheat Bran

3tbsp Sunflower Seeds

2tbsp Sesame Seeds

1tbsp Poppy Seeds

• Mix the milk and water together in a jug
• Put all the other ingredients in a bowl (keeping the yeast and salt separate)
• Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix well (will look like mashed up weetabix)
• Butter (well) a loaf tin and add the bread mixture
• Smooth out the mixture and place into a cold oven
• Turn the oven on to Gas 1/4/110 C/225 F and cook the bread for 30 minutes
• After 30 minutes turn the oven up to Gas 4/180 C/350 F and bake for a further 1 hour
• Test the bread by either knocking to hear a hollow sound or using a skewer to see if it comes out clean. If not cooked, put back in the oven for a further 10-15 minutes.
