Cheat’s Honey and Oat Bread

method:

• Put the white and brown flour into a mixing bowl with three-quarters of the oats and the butter; then rub in the butter with your fingertips until it resembles fine crumbs.
• Add the honey then beat the egg and milk together and gradually stir in enough milk mixture to make a soft but not sticky dough. Reserve the remainder for glazing.
• Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead very lightly until just smooth. Pat or roll into a rough round shape about 20cm in diameter. Cut into eight wedges then transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet, separating the wedges slightly so that there is space for them to rise during baking.
• Brush the tops with the remaining milk mix then sprinkle with the rest of the oats and sunflower seeds if using. Bake in a preheated oven set to 200C/400F/Gas 6 for 15-20 minutes until golden and well risen. Serve warm.
