Irish Soda Bread

Quick and Easy Bread Buns

Prep Time Cook Time Total Time
less than 20 mins 10 – 30 mins less than 1hr

Ingredients

100g whole wheat flour
100g plain flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
150ml buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Tip the flours, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl and stir.
  3. Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk, mixing quickly with a large fork to form a soft dough. (Depending upon the absorbency of the flour, you may need to add a little milk if the dough seems too stiff but it should not be too wet or sticky.)
  4. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly.
  5. Form into a round and flatten the dough slightly before placing on a lightly floured baking sheet.
  6. Cut a cross on the top and bake for about 30 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.

Recipe Notes

This receipe needs to be refined! The first shot didn’t produce that nice and soft buns.
