Lazy Loaf

Domestic Goddess Nigella Lawson described our Ultimate muesli as "manna from heaven!" and uses it for this recipe in her Express cookbook. 

 

Ingredients

200g Rude Health's Ultimate muesli Nigella's Lazy Loaf

325g whole-wheat bread flour

1 x 6g sachet easy-blend yeast

2 teaspoons sea salt

250ml semi-skimmed milk

250ml water

Method

1. Mix the muesli, flour, yeast and salt in a bowl and then pour in the milk and water and stir to mix. It will be like a thick porridge.

2. Transfer to a greased silicone loaf tin.

3. Put this in a cold oven, turning it immediately on to 110 degrees Celsius/ gas mark 1/4 and leave for 45 minutes.

4. After 45 mins turn the oven up to 180 degrees Celsius/ gas mark 4 and leave for 1 hour, by which time the bread should be golden and cooked through.

5. Slip it out of its tin and, although dense - it is that kind of loaf - it should feel slightly hollow when you knock it underneath. You can always slip it back in the oven, out of its tin, for a few minutes if you think it needs more.
Remove to a rack, and let cool.
