Baking your own bread has never been easier and this recipe is packed with powerful energy foods of seeds and nuts. I have used walnuts and a mixture of seeds in this recipe for health and texture.

Cooking Time: 20-25 mins.

Ingredients (serves 6)

450g/1 lb Soda Bread self raising flour

2 dsp olive oil

250ml/½ pt buttermilk
50g/2oz walnuts (chopped)
25g/1oz mixed seeds
2 dsp honey

Method

Lightly grease a 1 lb loaf tin.
To make the bread, sieve the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the walnuts, seeds, oil, honey, egg and buttermilk mixing to form a soft dough. No need to knead, transfer to the tin and bake in the middle shelf of the oven for 20-25 mins. until golden, risen and firm.
