Soda Bread

Ingredients
- 170g self-raising wholemeal flour
- 170g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 290ml buttermilk
Note: I have made this successfully using wholemeal flour instead of self-raising wholemeal flour. Perhaps the quantity of bicarb should be slightly increased?
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Tip the flours, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl and stir.
- 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.)
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly.
- Form into a round and flatten the dough slightly before placing on a lightly floured baking sheet.
- 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.
