Quick, yeast free, tasty and easy to make wholemeal bread.

This is a great knead free bread that tastes great warm out of the oven, cold or toasted. It is refined sugar free and can be made gluten and lactose free.

Ingredients
4 Weet-Bix, crushed (gluten free, if required)
3/4 cup milk (lactose free, if required)

1 1/2 cup self raising flour (gluten free, if required)

1/8 tsp salt
1 egg
4 tbsp oil

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease or line a 11 cm x 22 cm loaf tin with baking paper.

In a bowl combine the Weet-Bix, milk and water. Stand for 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl whisk the flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the Weet-Bix and stir to combine.
