I love bread, but too much yeast doesn’t do me much good so I often make Soda Bread - it’s quick and easy, and this recipe freezes really well too.
12 oz (350 gms) Plain Wholemeal Flour
4 ozs (100 gms) Plain white flour
4 ozs (100 gms) Walnut Halves - Optional!
2 tbsp (30 gms) Mixed seeds - linseed, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame
Pinch salt
1 tsp (15 ml) soft Brown (muscovado) sugar
1 tsp (15 ml) bicarb of soda
3 tsp (15 gms) sunflower margarine
2 tsp (10 gms) cream of tartar
10 fl ozs (300 ml) milk plus a little extra to brush on the top
Mix together the flours and walnuts if using (hold back a few for decoration), seeds, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda. Rub in the margarine
Dissolve the cream of tartar in the milk and mix with the dry ingredients to make a nice soft dough. If need be, add a little extra milk
Put onto a lightly floured surface and knead and shape into a roughly 7 inch round. Mark the top with a cross if you want to be traditional and glaze with the remaining milk and sprinkle with the last few walnuts.
Bake on a lightly floured Baking Sheet at 200C, 400F, Gas Mark 6 for about 40 minutes or until done.
Cool and eat - if you can wait that long!
