Soda Bread is so easy to make - the perfect homemade bread for beginners.
Ingredients
450g plain flour
1-2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
55g pumpkin seeds
25g linseed or sesame seeds
55g sunflower seeds
Approximately 400ml buttermilk
Serves 4
Method
1. Sieve the flour with the bicarbonate of soda and salt and add the seeds. Make a well in the centre and add most of the milk.
2. Working quickly, mix to a softish dough. When it forms a ball, turn it on to a well-floured surface and lightly work into a flattened loaf, approx. 20cm diameter.
3. Place on a baking sheet on a rectangle of Bake-O-Glide lightly dusted with flour and use a sharp knife to cut a deep cross in the top.
4. Bake on the grid shelf placed on the floor of the roasting oven (or oven on R6 setting) for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden and cooked through.
Tip: You can use this recipe to make individual scones, simply reduce the cooking time to 10-15 minutes.
