Quick to Mix, Big on Flavour
This Irish-style wheaten bread uses wholegrain spelt flour for a nutty flavour and gentle texture. There’s no yeast, no kneading, and no waiting around—just stir, shape, and bake.
Comforting and Versatile
It’s ideal with soups, stews, or just butter and jam. The oats add heartiness, while buttermilk brings a soft crumb. It’s great warm from the oven or sliced and toasted the next day.
