Rooibos Health Bread
Kanya Hunt- 4 Rooibos tea bags
- 250 ml water
- 250 ml buttermilk
- 1 jumbo egg
- 400 g (750 ml) wholewheat flour
- 100 g (250 ml) whole oats
- 10 ml cream of tartar
- 10 ml bicarbonate of soda
- 2,5 ml salt
- 100 g (180 ml) sunflower seeds
- 30 g (50 ml) linseeds (optional)
- 60 ml honey
- Grease a 23 x 13 x 7 cm loaf tin. Preheat the oven to 180 ºC.
- Place the Rooibos tea bags and water in a saucepan and boil for 5 to 10 minutes to make a strong infusion. Remove the tea bags. Set aside to cool.
- Add the buttermilk and egg, and beat with a fork to mix.
- Place all the dry ingredients and seeds, except 50 ml of the sunflower seeds and 10 ml of the linseeds, in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.
- Pour in the honey and buttermilk-and-Rooibos mixture. Fold in lightly with a large metal spoon until just combined – the same as you would do for a muffin mixture.
- Sprinkle some of the sunflower and linseeds in the bottom of the greased tin.
- Spoon the bread mixture into the prepared loaf tin and sprinkle the rest of the seeds on top.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes.
