You dont need to be an expert baker to make this delicous soda bread. Perfect for a smoked salmon sandwich or to accompany our smoked fish soup.
Ingredients
300g wholemeal flour
300g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp salt
1 egg
425ml natural yoghurt
Method
1. Mix all dry ingredients together.
2. Beat together yoghurt and egg.
3. Combine 1 and 2 in a mixing bowl and knead together until you have a smooth dough.
4. Shape the dough into a round and cut a large deep cross on top before transferring to a well oiled baking tray.
5. Place in a pre-heated (very important) oven; minimum 190°C for approximately 40 minutes.
6. When ready, it will sound hollow when you knock on the bottom of the loaf. Cool off for 15 minutes or so before eating.
N.B. Soda breads do not keep as well as yeast based breads, but they are simpler to prepare and ideal for freezing.
