Soda Bread

Unusual combination of soda bread recipes - There was no buttermilk at tesco but managed to find a recipe that used yoghurt so tried something based on that!

• 125g wholemeal flour
• 125g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8fl oz Natural Greek yoghurt (I used low fat but dont suppose it will matter....)
• 2 teaspoons soft brown sugar

Preheat oven to gas 8 or 230 deg and lightly grease a baking tray

Sieve and mix all the dry ingredients


Then add the yoghurt - Mix with a wooden spoon first then use your hands. Keep mixing until firm but not sticky - I needed to add a bit more flour at this point.

Knead for about a minute then make into a ball



Score a deep cross in top


Bake on gas 8 / 230 deg for 12 minutes then reduce to gas 6 or 200 deg for a further 15-20 minutes - should look good and sound hollow when tapped underneath when it's ready.

Leave to cool until you cant wait any longer then smother with butter/jam etc and enjoy!
