      Instructions

      1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Lightly grease a medium 21.5 x 11.5 x 5.5cm loaf pan with Flora ProActiv.
      2. Sift flours, baking powder and cinnamon into a mixing bowl and return the wholemeal husks to the mixture. Mix the orange zest and sugar together and add to the flour.
      3. Mix in the Flora ProActiv with a spatula and stir in the pecans. Make a well in the centre and add the egg and buttermilk and mix to form soft dough. Place mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape to fit inside the tin and place into the prepared tin. Make a few slashes in the top of the loaf and brush with a little extra buttermilk.
      4. Bake at 220°C for 10 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 190°C and cook for 25-30 minutes until the loaf sounds hollow when knocked on the top and is lightly browned.
      5. Remove from the tin and cool on a wire cooling rack.
      6. Serve sliced spread with the extra Flora ProActiv as a side to soups, casseroles and salads.
      Lightly toast and spread with low fat cottage or ricotta cheese and jam for brunch.
