Sláinte! A Vegan Soda Bread

Hope you all had a perfect St Paddy's Day!
To celebrate, along with a delicious dram I cobbled together a very quick vegan soda bread.
Instead of the traditional buttermilk, I used some apple cider vinegar and water along with the baking soda which still gives that beautiful rise.
This is a loaf you can make in minutes, the perfect accompaniment to a bowl of soup, some fruit or jam, or a curry.
It makes a delicious sandwich too!

Ingredients
1 cup rye flour
2 cups whole wheat  flour (I used flours from @janiesmill who have gorgeous milled organic grains)
1 tsp barley malt (optional)
1 3/4 cups water
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup of oats- about 3/4 for inside the bread, and half to sprinkle on top.
a handful of pumpkin seeds to sprinkle on top


Method
Preheat the oven to 400F, mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then add the water and vinegar.
Form into a ball, place on a baking tray with parchment paper dusted with flour, and slice into 4 (your slices should cut about half way into the loaf, this helps the bread to cook through).
Sprinkle your toppings (oats/seeds).
Bake for 35mins on 375F.
