One serving has 264 kcal and 5 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of manganese (48%) and selenium (21%). Ready in 65 minutes.

- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 50 min
- Makes: 1 serving (96.1 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, honey
Ingredients
- 20 g Flour, rye
- 15 g Flour, all-purpose
- 35 g Honey
- 5 g Molasses
- 15 g Milk, whole
- 5 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.4 g Baking soda
- 0.3 g Cinnamon
- 0.1 g Cloves
- 0.2 g Ginger, ground
- 0.1 g Anise seed
Method
- Warm the honey and molasses gently with the milk until runny, then cool slightly and whisk in the egg.
- In a separate bowl, mix the rye flour, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and anise.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients into a smooth batter.
- Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake at 160°C (325°F) for about 50 minutes, for a full loaf, until a skewer comes out clean; a single slice's worth bakes in about 12-15 minutes in a small tin.
- Cool completely before slicing; it improves after a day wrapped in foil.
- Makes 1 slice of a 10-slice loaf; multiply every ingredient by 10 for the whole loaf.
