Milk + Honey Soda Bread
What's great about it
This delicious Milk + Honey Soda Bread recipe from my cookbook Earth To Table is nourishing and versatile. It has a subtle sweetness and density that goes with anything sweet or savoury, but it's particularly delicious paired with soups with a spread of thick butter!
Ingredients
240 g (8 oz) wholemeal spelt flour or kamut flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarb soda)
90 g (3 oz) rolled oats
80 ml (1/3 cup or 2 1/2 fl oz) extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup almond milk or oat milk
Method
PREHEAT your oven to 180°C. (fan forced)
COMBINE olive oil, honey, lemon juice and milk.
COMBINE spelt flour, salt and baking soda into a separate bowl, then add to the wet ingredients and mix lightly to form a wet dough. It's more of a batter-like consistency
LIGHTLY BUTTER a small cast iron pan with good amounts of butter, then dust with half of the oats to coat the base of the pan.
SPOON the dough into the pan and sprinkle with the rest of the oats.
BAKE the bread for 35-45 minutes or until cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
COOL SLIGHTLY and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
