BROWN SODA BREAD
Makes one loaf

You'll need a piece of foil approx 12in x 8 in

Preheat the oven to 425. Spray your bread loaf pan with the Pam that has flour in it, and line the bottom with parchment paper.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup spelt flour
1/2 cup oat bran flour or oat flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 oz Butter, melted
1 Egg
12 ounces buttermilk
Sesame Seeds

Place flour in bowl and sift in Soda, Salt and Sugar. Mix to combine.
Beat Egg with half of the buttermilk.Pour egg/milk and melted butter into flour.
Mix thoroughly with stand mixer,adding the rest of the buttermilk.
Pour mixture into lined pan. Sprinkle on Sesame seeds.
Make a domed lid for the pan with the foil and press securely around the rim (Mine didn't "dome" very well but it still worked)
Bake 1 Hour.
Remove foil and leave for about 30 mins before turning the loaf out of the tin.
Allow to cool completely before cutting or wrapping.

Serve with butter and marmalade or with chutney and cheese (brie is nice). This is especially nice with a cup of tea.

Today I read Psalm 1-3 and I Timothy 1.

Psalm 3:8 spoke to me:

Salvation belongs to the Lord; may Your blessing be on Your people.

My salvation BELONGS to God. How encouraging! He holds my eternal future securely.

I also found I Timothy 1:5 meaningful.

Now the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

I prayed those three goals for my children: a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.
