Bread Matters 02

Attempt two.

I changed the recipe a bit to see if I could save on the expense of the buttermilk:

Ingredients
170g/6oz self-raising wholemeal flour
170g/6oz plain flour
50g Lightly salted butter
Half teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
290ml/half pint semi-skinned milk.

I gently melted the butter in a saucepan, whisked in the milk, allowed to cool a bit, and used in place of the buttermilk. As the butter contained salt I left out the added salt. The dough was 'wetter' than yesterdays and I found I needed to give the loaf an extra quarter of an hour in the oven. Taste pretty much the same I thought - another encouraging 7 out of 10.

Cheers Rita! Yes, it's a real simple recipe, and tastes really good freshly baked with butter on (After cooling for twenty minutes or so). Do try!
