150 g wholemeal spelt flour, 100 g plain flour (all purpose flour), 50 g jumbo oats, ¾ tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), ½ tsp sea salt
Gently stir in the fruit, herbs and all but a handful of cheese so they are all coated in flour.
4 fresh sage leaves, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, 1 small apple, 50 g blackberries, 50 g cheddar cheese
Make a well in the middle and pour in the yoghurt and honey if using.
150 ml natural yoghurt, 1 tbsp honey
Stir with a flat bladed knife until the mixture comes together.
Gently shape the dough into a round with your hands and place on a buttered baking tray. The dough is best handled as little as possible.
Flatten roughly to 4 cm (1 ½") thickness. Dust a little flour over the top to help prevent burning then scatter with the remaining cheese.
Cut a cross using a sharp knife and bake at 200℃ (400℉, Gas 6) for 35 minutes when the bread should sound hollow when tapped underneath.
