Method
- Put the very strong white bread flour and the strong wholemeal flour into a large bowl. Add the oatmeal, salt and butter. Rub the butter into the flour to combine.
- Sprinkle over the easy bake yeast. Pour in the honey, natural yogurt and warm water.
- Mix together with your hands until the mixture combines to make a rough dough ball.
- Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch and knead the dough for 10 mins until smooth and elastic.
- Grease a 900g (2lb) loaf tin. Shape into an oblong and carefully lower into the prepared tin. Cover loosely with cling film. Leave in a warm place until doubled in size. (This will take about 30-40 mins.)
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas 7. Remove cling film from bread and reduce the oven temperature to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Bake the bread for 30-35 mins until golden. To test to see if the loaf is ready, upturn and tap the base - it should sound hollow.
- Put all the ingredients into the bread maker bucket following the order and method specified in the manual.
- Fit the bucket into the bread maker and set to the basic programme with a light crust. Press start.
