A while ago now, I learned to make traditional Irish soda bread from Darina Allen at Ballymaloe in Ireland. This simple and wholesome bread is made quickly and can be on the table to enjoy in less than 45 mins. It uses a combination of wholemeal and plain flour to give a rustic texture and flavour without being too heavy. Soda bread uses bicarbonate of soda as the raising agent rather than yeast; it does not need to be kneaded and in fact the best soda bread is made with as little handling as possible. This recipe is easily adapted to make smaller scones which can be individually frozen and also by adding a range of flavourings
