I've talked before about green peppercorns and how my Dad introduced me to them in some amazing little rolls. I still can't emulate them but this is another attempt.
Stats: - whole loaf - 37 propoints, 1/8 of a loaf - 5pp.
300g wholemeal spelt flour
10g baking powder
5g salt
10g green peppercorns, bashed in a pestle and mortar
260ml buttermilk
Pretty much the same as the other named spelt loaf.
Preheat your oven to gas mark 8 with the baking tray in the oven - this helps to cook the base of your loaf. Add all of your dry ingredients to a bowl and mix. Add the buttermilk and incorporate - this is a little by feel/eye - but the dough will be a little wetter than you might expect it to.
Put the loaf on a baking tray and use a knife to make a deep cross across the top.
Heat in the oven for twenty minutes, or until the loaf is all cooked - the middle is the last bit to cook, so check to see if it still looks doughy there.
