It was Mother's day 2022 and I know it's a day I should be relaxing and reading a book but I find cooking relaxing. So after a wonderful visit from my children and grandchildren I whipped up this quick Irish Soda Bread (thanks to recipetineats). It is really easy, just ensure you have the ingredients in the pantry, no Buttermilk, no problem just add a little lemon juice or vinegar to some full cream milk. I was trying to take a photo of the crumb to show you the texture, but maybe a little bit of butter got in the way. :)
Ingredients
2 cups white, plain flour
1 3/4 cups wholemeal flour
3 Tablespoons extra flour
1 1/2 Teaspoons, bi carb soda
1 1/2 Teaspoons salt
2 cups buttermilk
Method
Preheat oven to 220 degrees celsius
Line baking tray with baking paper
Combine flours (not the extra flour), bi carb and salt in a bowl, whisk to distribute
Add buttermilk and stir until it is too hard to stir anymore.
Sprinkle the extra flour onto a clean work surface, tip dough out and incorporate more flour if needed
Knead for no more than 8 times, just bringing the dough together into a ball
Transfer to the lined baking tray, shape into a disk and cut a cross on the surface
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes and then turn oven down to 200 degrees
Bake a further 20 minutes or until the base sounds hollow when tapped, mine took only 15 minutes
Transfer to a rack and cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing (if you can manage it)
Now you can have bread anytime you like.
