25 g (1 oz) polyunsaturated margarine
a little semi-skimmed milk to glaze and a few extra caraway seeds
1 tbsp (15 ml) dried yeast

method
1. Mix the honey with 175 ml (6 fl oz) tepid water and sprinkle on the yeast.
2. Stir well and stand in a warm place for 10 - 15 minutes, until frothy.
3. Place the flours in a bowl with the salt and caraway seeds.
4. Rub in the margarine. Make a well in the centre of the bowl and pour in the yeast with another 175 ml (6 fl oz) tepid water.
5. Mix well to form a firm but sticky dough.
6. Turn out on to a floured surface and knead until smooth.
7. Lightly oil the mixing bowl and place the dough back in it, turning it over once.
8. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until double in size.
9. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
10. Knock back the dough. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead.
11. Shape into an oblong sausage and place on the baking sheet.
12. Leave to prove for about 15 - 20 minutes, until the dough increases in bulk by a quarter to a half.
13. Glaze with a little semi-skimmed milk and sprinkle with the extra seeds.
14. Bake at 200°C (400°F) mark 6 for 40 - 45 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Cool on a wire rack.
