Feta, walnut and fig & apple chutney quick bread

This year I missed baking along with bread week on GBBO. It coincided with our Vancouver holiday so I had to catch up with watching it once we got back but I still didn't find them time to bake for that week's theme.

Until now that is. I found an out of date jar of Baxters apple, fig and cider chutney. We love this stuff but I must have stocked up at some point and lost a jar at the back of the cupboard. 

I decided that it would taste good in a quick bread. So here's what I did:

Ingredients:

100g feta - crumbled

75g walnuts

150g Baxters apple, fig and cider chutney

300g plain flour

200g wholemeal flour

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tsp salt

400ml buttermilk (I made some from milk and lemon juice left standing for 10 minutes - around 1 tbsp to 1 cup milk but I needed a couple of cups to make the 400ml)

Method: 

1. Preheat oven to 180c (fan). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Combine the feta, walnuts, and chutney.

3. In a separate bowl combine the flours, bicarbonate of soda and salt.

4. Mix the contents of both bowls together and add the buttermilk to form a dough. 

5. On a floured surface, knead lightly to fully combine the ingredients and shape into a round. Dust with flour and place on the baking tray.

6. Make deep cuts in the shape of a cross to look like it is being cut into quarters.

7. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes. I ended up baking it for around and hour as the middle struggled to cook. I think next time I would divide the dough to make two smaller loaves. 

We all liked the flavour so overall it turned out well.
