215g (1 1/3 cups) wholemeal plain flour
300g (2 cups) bakers flour
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon black chia seeds

3. When there is 1 hour left in the cycle, gently brush top of dough with a little milk and sprinkle seeds over top of dough. Close lid and continue cooking.

4. When cooking has finished remove pan from breadmaker; leave for 5 minutes before removing bread. Allow to cool before slicing.

Homemade Butter

1. Assemble food processor with the whisk attachment.

2. Pour cream into bowl and process for 2-3 minutes or until the butterfat separates from the buttermilk. Pour out buttermilk and add about 1 1/2 cups chilled water to the processor bowl. Process again for 2-3 seconds. This rinses the buttermilk from the butter. Strain into a piece of muslin and gently squeeze to remove any excess water.

3. For salted butter; place butter into the small bowl of the food processor and add salt. Process for 3-4 seconds to combine.

4. Place in a container and refrigerate. Will keep refrigerated for 1-2 weeks.

Variations: Fresh garlic for garlic butter, light olive oil to make spreadable butter.
