In my beginnings to attempt to make bread I decided to start with some lovely Irish Wheaten bread. Possibly the simplest bread you can make because the there is no need for kneading or proofing. It can be done in 35 minutes from weighing your ingredients to taking it out of the oven.
Wheaten bread was a discovery my wife introduced me to and being she Irish knows exactly how it should be. However, with my Scottish influence and the fact that I like to use oats in everything I can confirm they have been added. This is something to try if you haven’t made bread before, it’s so simple and you will really enjoy the result.
284ml of Buttermilk
300 grams of wholemeal flour
half a teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of golden syrup
