Ingredients
  • 450g/1lb self-raising white flour
  • plus extra for dusting and rolling
  • 450g/1lb wholemeal flour
  • 2 tsp soft brown sugar
  • 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 tsp flaked sea salt
  • 500g/1lb 2oz full-fat natural yoghurt
  • 350ml/12fl oz full-fat milk
  • plus extra for glazing
Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Sift a tablespoon of white flour over large baking tray.
  • Put the white and wholemeal flour in a large bowl and stir in the sugar
  • bicarbonate of soda and sea salt. Tip onto a clean work surface and scoop into a heap. Make a well in the centre.
  • Mix the yogurt and milk in a large jug until smooth. Pour roughly a fifth of the milk mixture into the well and mix some of the flour into the liquid with a wooden spoon. Add a little more and continue to draw the flour into the liquid. If you have a massive mixing bowl
  • you can do the mixing in there instead. Keep adding and mixing until all the liquid and flour is combined.
  • Using your hands
  • knead the dough for a couple of minutes
  • or until light and spongy. You may need to add a little extra flour if the dough is sticky
  • but try not to add too much as you want the bread to be light and airy.
  • Divide the dough into six portions (or nine if making dinner rolls) and roll into balls. Place on the floured baking tray
  • evenly spaced apart. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand until around 4cm/1½in deep.
  • Brush the rolls with a little milk and bake for 25-35 minutes
  • or until well risen and golden-brown. The crusts should be nice and crisp and the bottom of each roll should sound hollow when tapped. Larger rolls will take longer to cook. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool or serve warm.
