HEALTH BREAD

Hi Guys

Once again I have been bad, not writing regularly and I apologise, but running around Cape Town trying to get busy!

Here is a stunning wholewheat bread recipe especially for Nienka!

WHOLEWHEAT HEALTH LOAF:

5 Cups Farine Grains de bleu (wholewheat flour from London)
1 cup oats
1 cup Linseed
1 cup Sunflower seeds
2 tsp bicarb
8 teaspoons brown sugar
6 teaspoons honey (buy the cheap tall 1 litre bottle in plastic at jam section)
Pumpkin seeds (if available)
Raisins/Sultanas optional
1 litre natural yoghurt or buttermilk unsweetened one
You can add in half a cup of poppy and linseed into the mixture as well

Method: (Makes 2 loaves)

Purchase the Tefal non stick loaf pans from London
Mix all the dry ingredients together then add in the yoghurt and honey. Mix well with your hand.
Divide into 2 loaf pans and make patterns with Poppy seeds, sesame seeds etc on the top of the loaf, and place them in an oven at 160* for about 1 hour or until a skewer comes away clean, possibly with a slight amount of mixture on the skewer.
Remove from the oven, cool, wrap in foil and place in the refrigerator.
This allows the bread to be sliced well, and the refrigerating it firms up the inside of the loaf, and also in the heat keeps it fresh for longer.
Divine toasted with loads of butter and marmalade!!

Enjoy! And remember that all the seeds can be bought at London however sometimes they are out of stock so you must go to Quartier Gourmande in Quattro Bornes.

Cheers
Sue
