Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 200g of all purpose flour
- 350g of whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 200ml of plain yogurt
- 300ml of milk
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 425°F.
- Sift the all purpose flour, salt, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Then add in the wholewheat flour. Mix until all is combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt and milk. Using your hands, make a well in the centre of the flour, then slowly pour the mixture into the well. Begin by using a fork to combine the flour and milk mixture, then use your hands until the dough is formed. *Note: save a little bit of the milk mixture for later.
- It is quite a wet mixture, so pat your hands with flour and transfer the dough to a lightly floured baking tray and shape until round. Lightly flour the top and cut the shape of a cross about 3/4 of a way into the dough.
- With the rest of the milk mixture, brush the top of the bread. Bake in the oven at 425°F for 15 minutes, then lower to 350°F for a further 25 minutes. Leave to cool on a cooling rack.
