Whole-meal Bread

Ingredients

• 250 g Coarsely Ground Whole-meal Flour (About 2 cups)
• 125 g Fine Flour (About 1 cup)
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 50 g Butter, cold and cubed (About 4 tablespoons)
• 120 ml Milk (Approximately 1/2 cup, plus more if needed)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the whole-meal flour, fine flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. 2Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. 3Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should be slightly sticky.
4. 4Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut out round cakes. Alternatively, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a flat cake.
5. 5Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 5 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
6. 6Transfer the baked cakes to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite spread.
