Recipe Steps
- Sieve the cream plain flour, salt and bread soda into a bowl. Mix in the wholemeal flour, wheatgerm and wheat bran, if used. Add enough milk to make a soft dough.
- Turn onto a lightly floured board. Knead until the mixture comes together smoothly.
- Place dough on a floured baking sheet. Cut a cross over the top.
- Place in a central oven position and bake in a preheated oven 200°C/400°F/Gas 6 for approx 40 mins.
- When baked the bread will have a hollow sound if tapped on the base. Cool on a wire tray. A dry tea towel wrapped around the bread at this stage helps to give a softer crust.
Note:
Bread can also be baked in a 7″ deep cake tin
