Good morning, here is my recipe for soda bread, apologies for lack of conventional measurements:
About 4 cups of Plain Flour sieved into a bowl, add
1 cup of Bran or Oatmeal or whole meal (optional)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Half tsp salt
Approximately 500ml of Natural Yogurt or Buttermilk (buttermilk can be made by adding about tspoon of lemon juice to regular milk)
Mix to a dough like consistency, give it a very light knead and place in a tin or baking sheet, flatten a little by pressing gently on the top. Slice a cross on the top! Pop into a preheated over. 180deg for about 35-45 mins. Tap the bottom to check if it s fully Baked, it should sound hollow!
Good luck...... I’m off to the kitchen now to make one.
