Wholemeal Soda Bread

Not pretending I'm a domestic goddess and make all my own bread but this is a special treat to serve with soup or cheese. And all you do is throw it togethe! Thanks to Sara Buenfeld for this lovely recipe. 

• 450g wholemeal flour 
• pinch salt
• 75g seed-mix 
• 1 tsp bicarb of soda
• 1 Tbsp black treacle
• 150ml natural bio yogurt made up to 450ml with water

Line baking sheet with parchment and heat oven to 200C. Mix flour, seeds, bicarb and salt in a large bowl. Stir treacle into yogurt mix and when dissolved pour onto the dry ingredients. Stir together with a knife to a soft sticky dough, leave 5 mins so liquid can be absorbed.  

Tip dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a round about 18 cm across. It will still be sticky to handle, more like a scone dough than bread, so handle it carefully. Lift onto the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
