Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.75 cups Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Optional: sunflower seeds or raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly combined.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the honey, buttermilk, and melted butter. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

If desired, fold in sunflower seeds or raisins for added texture and flavor.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for about 1 minute, just until the dough comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a round loaf, about 8 inches in diameter, and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, score a shallow ‘X’ across the top of the loaf. This allows the bread to expand as it bakes.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, with butter, jam, or alongside soups and stews.
