METHOD
- Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
- Add all the wet ingredients, and mix roughly.
- Pour this mixture into your bread machine and select the “cake” option (or “loaf” if “cake” isn’t there) – it should be around 1 hour and 50 minutes. If you have a crust colour option, select “Medium”.
- Leave to cool and set for a while when it’s done.
