Homemade Brown Bread

Weigh the ingredients and gather your equipment.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin.

Place the wholemeal flour, honey or sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Sieve the bread soda into the mixing bowl.

Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir in the milk and oil until well blended. The mixture will be quite wet. Use a spatula to scrape down the bowl and spoon.

Add the mixture to the loaf tin and sprinkle some oats on top.

Bake for 1 hour. The bread is baked when it makes a hollow sound if you tap the bottom of the loaf.
