Ingredients
- 60 g treacle
- 60 g honey
- 150 g stout
- 250 g plain flour
- 250 g wholemeal flour
- 170 g oatmeal (coarsely ground steel-cut oats), plus extra to sprinkle
- 50 g mixed seeds (e.g. pumpkin seeds (pepitas), sunflower seeds, sesame seeds), plus extra to sprinkle
- 16 g (about 3 scant tsp) bicarbonate soda (baking soda / bread soda)
- 12 g (2 tsp) sea salt
- 250 ml buttermilk
- 10 g butter, room temperature, for preparing the tin
- 2-3 tbsp plain flour, for preparing the tin
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C. Line a loaf tin with the butter and dust with the flour. Tap away any excess.
- Place the treacle, honey and stout in a small saucepan and warm gently until it is incorporated; set aside to allow the mixture to come back to room temperature.
- In a bowl, add the flours, oatmeal, seeds, bread soda and sea salt. Mix by hand until evenly distributed. Create a hollow in the centre, add the stout mix and buttermilk and mix to a firm batter consistency.
- Spoon the mix into the loaf tin, it should come about ¾ of the way up. Sprinkle some excess oats and seeds on top. Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes to an hour, until the base of the bread is hollow-sounding when you tap it. Pop out of the tin and cool on a wire rack before serving with butter.
