A simple recipe for a majestic bread, rich with treacle and buttermilk that also freezes beautifully.

A majestic bread, rich from treacle and buttermilk, which is fantastic with smoked salmon, crab and prawns. It’s a stir-and-bake bread; you don’t even need to shape it, as the dough simply gets popped in a loaf tin. I always make a double batch – just by doubling the ingredients – and freeze one.
Recipe from Clodagh’s Happy Cooking (Kyle Books), RRP: £25
