Method

  1. Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Mix the flours, salt and bicarbonate of soda, then stir in the carrot, walnuts and yogurt, followed by enough of the milk to make a soft, quite sticky dough.
  2. 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.

    This looked like a soggy lump when I put it in the oven, and I must admit I felt a tad apprehensive. However, it came out delicious and tasted wonderfully fresh for four whole days. I teamed it with broccoli and Stilton soup, then finished the rest with cheese � yummy!

    I made this into a sweet rather than savoury bread by adding 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1.5tsp cinnamon and a couple of handfuls of chopped dates and raisins! I also used fat free yoghurt and skimmed milk to make it lower fat, it tastes beautiful!

    I tried it replacing the carrots with parsnip and the walnuts with cashew nuts which was successful too.

    Had to half the ingredients because I was short on flour but it came out perfectly. So very easy to bosh together and extremely delicious, I added a little cumin for flavour.

    i've been making bread for a while but i definately wont be trying this again.As a few people have already commented it was well cooked on the outside but uncooked on the inside and had no taste at all. initially as i started to make it i felt there was too much flour in the recipe and the end result was heavy which makes me think my initial thought was right. all in all, a disaster!

    I used buttermilk instead of Greek yogurt and milk. I used a muffin tray to make great individual savoury muffins. Turned out great. Nice to bring to school or work for lunch. This is essentially Irish Soda bread.

    Really tasty! I gave it 40 minutes, and it was just cooked through - I would say it needed that amount to bake properly. I covered it with tin foil about halfway through to stop it browning too much on the top.

    Great recipe! Would definitely say it needs 40 minutes to bake properly though - I covered it with tin foil halfway through to stop it browning too much on top. Very tasty.

    Used granary flour which was fine. A little under done in the middle but still very pleasant.
