Ingredients

  • 4 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1/4 - 1/2 stick butter
  • 1 1/4 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 c. milk

Method

  • Preheat a very hot oven-475.
  • Butter bread pan.
  • Put the flour into a mixing bowl, add the salt and sift in the baking soda and cream of tartar.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly. Melt the butter and honey together and mix with the milk.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, add all the liquid and mix together quickly but thoroughly with a knife to make a dough. Pour into the butter pan and level off.
  • Put straight into the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350. Bake for about 1 hr. until the loaf is well-risen, nicely browned and shrinking slightly from the pan.
  • Turn out of the tine for the last minutes of baking and turn upside down to crisp up the base. Cool on a wire rack and use fresh on the day of baking.
