Hi and welcome to The Bread Kitchen.
Today I'm gonna make a very simple bread that's quick to make and contains no yeast.
It's Irish Soda Bread.
For my soda bread, I've got a 150 g of plain while flour,
a 150 g of wholemeal flour,
250 ml of buttermilk or you can use a 50/50 mixture of yoghurt and ordinary milk.
1 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda.
Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix them well together.
Add in the buttermilk and quickly mix all this together.
And just quickly mix it enough to bring it together. A bit of a fairly sticky dough.
Pop the dough onto a floured surface and just kind of pull it together for no more than a minute
because the bicarbonate of soda is already reacting with the buttermilk.
Once you've brought the dough together into a nice soft ball, pop it onto a baking tray
and spread it out a bit until it's about an inch thick,
them make a fairly deep cross in the bread. That let's the fairies out.
We'll bake this at a 180 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes.
After about 30 minutes, it will be nicely baked.
So we'll just leave it to cool.
Delicious, warm, crusty soda bread.
It's awesome with soup!
Irish Soda Bread has a slightly salty taste which means it goes great with things like soups and stews.
I hope you enjoy making your Soda Bread and do join my next time in The Bread Kitchen.
