Irish Soda Bread

"Soda bread is great for people with yeast allergies, but it's super tasty too. This recipe has spelt flour in it, which has a lovely nutty taste, but can be quite expensive. The dough is very free form, and prone to take off, so I tend to do this in a tin if I want it for sandwiches, but it also works well on a baking tray. I think this recipe was originally done by Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall, but was adapted by a colleague of mine."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. There's no need to sieve, but mix them well - even using a whisk.
  • Combine the oil, buttermilk and water in a jug, and mix briefly. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour in liquid. Mix using a wooden spoon for about 1 minute, until they form a homogenous sticky dough.
  • Encourage the dough onto a papered or well-floured baking tray. Bake for about 40 mins at 180’C, depending on oven.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a young scientist in the UK who is facing the new challenge of life without a kitchen. My family comes from Yorkshire, so my talents lie in anything batter-based (Yorkshire puddings, pancakes etc). I'm a pescetarian (sea food only) but still love to try new things and experiment.
