Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the flour, seeds and bicarb in a bowl, then mix together the milk and lemon juice in a small jug and pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir with a knife until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.

  • step 2

    Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and lightly shape into a ball with wet or floured hands, as it will be sticky to handle. Lift onto a floured baking tray, reshape if required, then sprinkle more seeds over the top and press them in lightly. Bake for 35-40 mins until firm and golden. Cool on a wire rack, then wrap in foil until needed. Will keep chilled for up to four days, or frozen for up to a month.

Dense but great toasted with lots of butter and marmite. Incredibly sticky dough - definitely important to wet hands first before touching it. Used strong wholemeal bread flour as couldn't get ordinary. Added 1 tsp salt, which seemed to be missing from the recipe.

Hi, you could certainly try this although we're not sure how much flavour it will have as we've only tested it with oat milk. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Does it have to be wrapped in foil?

Hi, foil keeps it fresh but you could also keep it in an airtight container or a sealed food bag. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
