Health rusks

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC (350 ºF). Spray three 23 x 13 x 7 cm loaf tins with non-stick spray.
Mix the wholewheat flour, sunflower seeds, aniseed and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Melt the margarine and add the brown sugar. Stir well. Add the molasses and mix well.
Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the buttermilk and mix well. Add to the margarine mixture and mix. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to distribute the liquid evenly. Turn into the prepared loaf tins, spreading the mixture evenly. Bake for about 1 hour or till done: a testing skewer will come out clean when the bread is done. Cool slightly and turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely and cut into fingers. Place on baking sheets and dry at 100 ºC (200 ºF).
Makes about 70 rusks.
