  • 2 tbsp plain yoghurt
  • 250 ml skimmed milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda in a mixing bowl.
  2. Make a well in the middle and pour in the yoghurt, California Prune juice and milk.
  3. Mix together to form a soft dough, it is really important you don’t over mix, just gently bring the dough together.
  4. Add the chopped California Prunes, mixed nuts and quinoa and gently fold into the dough.
  5. Scoop out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a round loaf.
  6. Place the dough on a non-stick baking tray. Using a pair of scissors cut a cross into the top of the bread to approximately half way down the depth of the loaf.
