  • 250 g strong wholemeal flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190⁰C.
  2. Prepare a baking sheet with a sprinkling of flour.
  3. Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together.
  4. Then add the grated Cheddar and chutney.
  5. Add the cider and stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
  6. Now put your hands in (oiling them helps immensely) and bring the dough together quickly by kneading into a ball, adding a little extra flour if necessary. Don’t overwork the dough, speed is of the essence!
  7. Place the dough ball on the floured baking sheet and flatten a little, dust with flour and then mark a cross into it with a sharp knife.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when knocked on the base.
