Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). In a large bowl, combine 4 cups (500 g) self-raising flour with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 cup (75 g) mixed seeds, reserving 2 tbsp seeds for topping.
  2. Step 2: Rub 60 g cold chopped butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 cup (200 g) cooked and mashed sweet potato and 1 tbsp honey.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) milk, mixing with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  5. Step 5: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1 minute until smooth. Shape into a round loaf about 20 cm in diameter.
  6. Step 6: Place loaf on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with a little milk and sprinkle reserved 2 tbsp mixed seeds.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Cool slightly before slicing and serving warm with butter.
