I think this will be the easiest bread I will ever bake.  There is no yeast action, no eggs or even butter.  It’s as easy as mixing dough for chapathis.

Ingredients:
Click here for the ingredients and the recipe.  The bread requires 1/2 cup of wheat germ, I guess it can be replaced with whole wheat flour itself.  I also added 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal.

My Notes:
1. While combining the dry ingredients, don’t forget to seive the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour and baking soda to avoid uncooked lumps in the baked bread.  I usually seive them, but this time I totally forgot it and found some lumps in the bread.
2. Similarly while adding honey to the buttermilk, keep stirring it using a whisk or fork, until the honey dissolves in the buttermilk.  Since I had to take a picture, I added the honey and just left it.  When I was done taking the photo, I found that the honey had stuck to the bottom of the vessel and had lumped.  So I had to use my muscle to dissolve it.  Also before measuring the honey, spray the tablespoon with some non stick cooking spray and then pour the honey into the spoon.  By doing this the honey will easily pour out from the spoon without sticking.
3. Combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients.  The recipe mentions to turn the dough onto a floured surface to shape it into a circle and then transfer to a baking sheet. 

I don’t know whether I did not flour the surface well or what, this step was a bit messy and I was not able to shape it properly.  So I sprayed both my hands with vegetable oil and removed the dough from the surface and transferred it to the greased baking sheet and shaped it in the baking sheet itself.  This was very easy. 

Bake it for 15 minutes at 425F and for another 15 min at 400F.  Let it cool for atleast 30 minutes before you can cut it.  The bread has a nice nutty smell and flavor. 

Enjoy it with your favorite jam!
