Ingredients

250 g plain white flour
250 g wholemeal flour
100 g oats + 1 tbsp extra for the top
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
25 g melted butter
470 ml milk
3 tbsp DYC white vinegar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Place milk in a jug, add the DYC white vinegar and stir. Set aside for 10 minutes to make butter milk.
In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients. Pour milk and melted butter. Use a table knife to bring the dough together. Gently use your hands to form a round shaped loaf.
Dust a large baking tray with flour and place the dough onto it. Score a cross on the top of the loaf with the knife. Sprinkle oats on top.
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Check the loaf is cooked by tapping on the bottom of the loaf. If it sounds hollow the loaf is ready.
