Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 185°C bake. 
  2. In a large bowl, mix the self-raising flour and sugar. If you're adding extras like sultanas, walnuts, or honey, incorporate them now.

  4. Transfer the dough into a greased loaf tin.
  5. Add any topping you like and brush melted butter over the dough for a crispy finish.
