1 teaspoon oats
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Mix the flour, bread soda and salt together in a bowl.
Combine the egg with the buttermilk and honey then mix into the flour. Add a little more buttermilk if the mixture is dry – it should be a soft dough.
Pour the dough into a lightly oiled loaf tin. Sprinkle porridge oats over the top of the loaf if using.
Bake for 45-50 minutes. To know when it is cooked simply tap the bottom of the loaf – it will sound hollow when it is fully cooked.
Remove from the tin and wrap in a clean tea towel while cooling. This will keep the crust soft.
