Soda Bread : Bread Recipes
Ingredients
10 oz - Plain white flour;
6 oz - Wholemeal flour;
1 3/4 level teaspoons - Bread soda;
2 heaped desert spoons - Wheat germ;
1 level teaspoon - Salt;
1 heaped teaspoon - Sugar;
7/8 pint - Buttermilk.
Method
Grease and flour an 8 inch round baking tin.
Sift the white flour into a large mixing bowl.
Add the other dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Make a well in the centre of the bowl, pour in some of the buttermilk and, with a wooden spoon, gradually mix the flour into the buttermilk.
Add more buttermilk and mix in more flour. Continue until the flour is completely absorbed into the mix. The mix should not be over saturated, but have a slightly stretchy look.
Turn the mix into the baking tin and place in a medium hot oven (180 degrees centigrade)for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
Leave to cool on a wire tray.
