Wholemeal Cottage Loaf is a great make in advance bread recipe. It is very tasty with just a little knob of butter of as part of a more bigger dish. I often use it as part of my Posh Beans on Toast, Wild Mushrooms on Toast or a favourite Poached Egg, Ham and Mustard on Toast. Alternatively, if you are in a rush or are looking for snack, children’s meal kind of meal then I have an idea. Just divide the dough into 8 small balls to make individual rolls and reduce the cooking time to only 20-25 minutes until golden.
