you will need

Method
Heat your oven to 200 C, 180 C fan, 400 F, gas 6. In a large bowl, stir all the ingredients together, apart from the yoghurt and butter, and make a well in the centre.
Pour the yoghurt and melted butter into the middle and with a wooden spoon stir to combine until you have a very thick, sticky dough. Put this in the middle of the prepared baking sheet and with a handle of your wooden spoon press a large cross into the top of the dough.
Bake for 45 minutes until risen and golden, covering the top with foil if it gets too brown. Serve sliced warm and buttered with tea. The fruit bannock will keep for 2 days, wrapped and sealed in an airtight container.
Top Tip for making Fruit Bannock
For warm bannock ready in time for elevenses, the dry ingredients can all be assembled in a large bowl the night before. Simply stir in the melted butter and yoghurt just before baking.
