Cork mill taps into flour power in lockdown!


Butter, for greasing
180g cream flour
340g Macroom Stoneground Wholewheat Flour (extra coarse)
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
70g Macroom Oatmeal
1 medium organic egg
575ml buttermilk
- Preheat the oven to 180C fan/gas 6. Butter a 450g loaf tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the flours, bicarbonate soda, salt and oatmeal to combine, then make a well in the centre.
- Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a hug, and pour into a dry mix. Using your hand as a claw, mix the ingredients together in a circular motion until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. When you remove the loaf from the tin, make sure to tap the bottom too, listening for that hollow sounds, just to be sure. Sprinkle sesame or sunflower seeds on crust. Cool on a wire rack.
- Serve with creamy butter, jam or honey. Enjoy!
