Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: Rub 4 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup grated carrot, 1/2 cup finely chopped spring onions, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add 1 cup whole milk, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  5. Step 5: Turn dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round loaf about 7 inches in diameter. Place on prepared baking sheet and brush the top with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  7. Step 7: Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm with 1 cup bush tomato chutney for a burst of native Australian flavor.
