Soda Bread

Dear all,

This week I have baked something savoury. I wish I had known how easy this was to make before, because it IS easy, and delicious! So today I present you: soda bread.

The good thing about soda bread is, you don't have to let it rise or anything. So little can go wrong, it's amazing. What you do is you just mix the ingredients (flours, soda, buttermilk), gently fold into something that resembles bread, plonk it on a floured baking tray and you're good to go.



Out of the oven these breads come out beautifully golden brown. It's one of those breads with a great crust and soft center. Yum.



By slashing the bread pre-baking you can make the bread look even more authentic. I of course immediately tried two types of soda bread. I made just the regular kind, and a walnut version. See here the results:



And here's my serving suggestion: Nice glass of wine and some garlic butter (though not necessary, it's so good you can eat it just like that!)
