I think I’m coming down with flu, so am not really feeling up to writing a scintillating post tonight – frankly, I don’t think I’ve ever felt less scintillating in my life! So, instead, herewith a simple recipe for a country-style loaf that is about the sort of nourishing, comforting thing I feel the need for at the moment…

By the way, although the recipe below specifies the seeds to use, this recipe can easily be adapted to use any seeds, nuts, fruit (e.g. raisins, goji-berries, etc) that you fancy. Just make sure that they add up to 150ml…

| 50 ml sesame seeds |
| 50 ml sunflower seeds |
| 50 ml pumpkin seeds |
| 500 ml buttermilk |
METHOD
| 1. | Mix together all of the dry ingredients and stir in the buttermilk. |
