Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C.
  2. Combine the flours, salt, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder in a bowl.
  3. Mix in the apple.
  4. Pour in the cider and combine to form a dough (you might want to oil your hand).
  5. It will be a wet dough but you might need to add a little more flour.
  6. Tip onto a well floured work top and knead for 1 minute. (Do not overwork the dough or you will lose all the gases that are going to make this loaf rise in the oven).
  7. Form the dough into a round, dust with spelt flour and score a cross into the top.
  8. Place on a floured baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes. (If it makes a hollow sound when base is knocked it’s ready).
  9. Place on a cooling rack.
