Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 75 grams Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Butter (cold, cubed)
- 350 milliliters Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rolled oats (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey. Gradually pour the mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft, sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round loaf. Transfer the loaf onto the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, score a deep cross on the top of the loaf. This will help the bread bake evenly.
Sprinkle the tablespoon of rolled oats over the top of the loaf for added texture and decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or your favorite toppings.
