Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F fan oven, 220°C/430°F conventional oven.
- Mix the flours, salt, baking soda, dates and walnut pieces in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg, melted butter and buttermilk. Mix briskly with a wooden spoon.
- Knead the dough for about 1 minute in the bowl to ensure it is well mixed.
- Flour a surface and turn the dough out. Split the dough into 8 roughly-equal pieces.
- For each piece of dough, roll it into a ball and flatten slightly. Place on a lightly-greased baking tray.
- Before baking cut a cross into the top of each of the rolls about one-third of the depth of the roll.
- Bake for 15 minutes then place on a wire rack to cool.
Notes
Instead of buttermilk you can use a 50:50 mixture of milk and plain yoghurt.
This dough can also be baked into a single loaf of bread. Make it into a round about 20 cm (8") across and cut a cross in the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
These rolls make excellent dinner rolls. All they need is cutting in half and spreading with butter!
