This is the easist recipe to make – it simply proves in the tin and doesn't need  extra handling.

Ingrediences

1 tablespoon liquid honey, warmed
1½ cups warm water
1 tablespoon active yeast, plus 2 teaspoons
1 cup high-grade flour
1 cup wholemeal flour
¾ cup buckwheat flour
½ cup rye flour
¼ cup rolled oats, plus
2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon salt
oil spray

Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 220ºC. In a small bowl place honey and warm water. Stir to dissolve honey. Sprinkle over yeast and set aside in a warm place until it is frothy.

Step 2
In a large bowl add flours, oats and salt. Stir to mix. Shape a well in the middle and pour in warm yeast mixture. Use a butter knife to mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients. The dough should be sticky when mixed.

Step 3
Spray a loaf tin with oil. Dust tin with flour until all tin sides are lightly covered. Transfer dough to loaf tin. Sprinkle over a few oats. Leave for about 40 minutes until dough has doubled in size.

Step 4
Bake for 40 minutes.
