Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups self-raising flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp ground wattleseed.
  2. Step 2: Rub in 3 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup roughly chopped macadamia nuts.
  4. Step 4: Make a well in the center, then pour in 1 1/4 cups whole milk and 1 tbsp honey. Mix gently with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  5. Step 5: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly for 1-2 minutes until just smooth.
  6. Step 6: Shape into a round loaf about 7 inches in diameter and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  7. Step 7: Score a cross on top with a sharp knife and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped underneath.
  8. Step 8: Cool slightly before slicing and serving warm with butter.
