Ingredients
- 225g/8oz white spelt or plain flour
- 125g/5oz rye flour
- ½ tsp bread soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1tsp/5g salt
- 25g/1oz chilled butter
- 3 tsp poppy seeds
- 250ml/8floz milk
Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7
- 2. In a large bowl mix the flours, bread soda and baking powder and mix in the salt.
- 3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then mix in most of the poppy seeds.
- 4. Pour in most of the milk and, using a knife, bring the mixture together.
- 5. Tip the mixture onto a floured surface and gently knead it just to bring it all together. Form it into a round shape and gently press it down to a round of about 1inch/2½ cm thick.
- 6. Place the loaf on a well-floured baking tray, or one lined with parchment, and cut deep into it to create wedges, brush with a little milk and sprinkle over more poppy seeds.
- 7. Bake in a hot oven for 25-30 minutes until risen and golden.
- 8. This is best eaten while still warm so don’t wait around.
