My Easy Homemade Soda Bread.
There is nothing I love more than freshly baked,
homemade bread. But making your own bread can be time consuming. That’s why
most days I make soda bread. It’s easy to make, quick and darn right yummy.
For special occasions, I add dried fruit and or nuts.
Mixed herbs and/ or, sundried tomatoes and olives.
If you want the bread to be dairy free, you can substitute
the milk with soy or almond milk.
Makes 1 loaf
350g plain flour
1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking
Soda (bicarbonate of soda) 300 ml milk
1
tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1.
Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 /
425F. Dust a baking tray with a little plain flour.
2.
Put the measured milk into a bowl or cup and then add
the lemon juice or vinegar and stir into the milk to make it curdle.
3.
In a mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together
thoroughly. Add the soured milk, and stir to combine.
4.
Keep stirring until the ingredients come together as a
dough, then knead together to form a ball.
5.
Place the ball of dough on the baking tray and cut a
deep cross in the centre. This helps the centre of the bread to cook properly.
6.
Cook for around 30 minutes until golden brown. Tapping
the bottom, you should hear a hollow sound, this means the bread is cooked.
