Wheat & Fruit Treacle Cob
Ingredients
225g YQ wheat flour
85g plain flour
85g porridge oats
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
1tbs caster sugar
110g sultanas
300ml buttermilk
1tbs treacle
Baker: Cherie Denham
Makes: 1 loaf
Prep time: 15mins
Bake time: 30mins
Flours used: YQ flour and Plain white flour.
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200 fan/425 f/GM7. Place a baking sheet onto the top shelf of the oven to get nice and hot.
- Mix the wheat flour and porridge oats in a large bowl. Sift the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into the bowl. Stir in the sugar and sultanas.
- Make a well in the centre of the ingredients. Mix the buttermilk and treacle together in a jug. Using a wooden spoon or knife, stir the liquid into the dry ingredients. Get your hand into the mixture to bring it together to form a soft dough!
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead into a round shape roughly 15cm/6” wide. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, dust with flour and transfer the dough onto it.
- Make a deep cross in the dough by pushing in a well-floured wooden spoon handle or use a knife to make a deep cut into the dough.
- Place on the top shelf of the oven for 30 minutes until slightly risen and hollow-sounding when tapped underneath.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with lashings of butter.
