A recepie we got from Marion F many years ago - simple and wonderful. Use good stoneground flour
Ingredients for 1 Loaf / 2 Loaves
340 / 680 gms Stoneground Wholemeal Flour
110 / 220 gms Plain White Flour
100 / 200 gms Pinhead Oatmeal (can substitute flour)
2 / 4 level tsp Bread Soda
500 / 1000 mls Buttermilk
0.5 / 1 handful Bran
Method
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly and mix in the buttermilk. The mixture is stiff but quite wet.
Oil tin(s) and pour in the mix. Optional - sprinkle with flour or sesame seeds or sunflower seeds (or seed can be sprinkled on bottom of tin before filling with mix)
Bake at 200C in pre-heated over for 1 hour (check near the end to ensure it doesn't burn)
Remove from tin(s) and cover with damp tea-towel while cooling (avoids crust being too hard)
