Ingredients

plain flour 350g
wholemeal flour 150g
salt 1 tsp
bicarbonate of soda 2 tsp
carrots 150g, peeled and grated
walnut or pieces a handful, toasted
low-fat Greek yoghurt 300ml
semi-skimmed milk 125ml

Method

Step 1

Heat oven to 230c/fan 210/gas 8. Mix the flours, salt and bicarbonate of soda, then stir in the carrot, walnuts and yoghurt, followed by enough of the milk to make a soft, quite sticky dough.

Tip onto a floured surface and form a flat ball, put on a baking sheet, slash the top and bake for 30 minutes until risen and cooked. It’ll sound hollow when you tap it.
