Description

Ingredients

• 3 cups/ 310 grams rye flour
• 1.5 cups/ 180 grams whole wheat flour
• 2¼ teaspoons baking soda
• ¾ cup/250 grams golden syrup (you can use corn syrup if you cant find golden syrup)
• 3 cups and 2 tablespoons/ 750 ml buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 210°F/100°C.
• Use butter to lightly grease a standard loaf pan (9x5 or 23x13 cm)
• In a large bowl stir together the rye flour, whole wheat flour, and baking soda.
• Now stir in the golden syrup, buttermilk, and honey. Mix gently until everything is just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth it down to make sure the pan is evenly filled. [Note: If you pour in all the batter it will come close to the top of the pan and you will end up with a hood like crust. If you dont want that crust then fill the loaf pan until its about ¾ full then discard any unused dough.]
• Bake in the oven for 6 hours and 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Let cool just slightly so you can safely remove it from the pan. Serve warm or cool.
