Irish Soda Bread

[Grizz]

Sieve flour, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl, (once will do, but I do it a couple of times for a better mix). Make a well in centre and add most of buttermilk then mix into a raggy dough. You can add some flour if its too wet or some more buttermilk if it seems too dry. Once its together, knead briefly (30 seconds) on a floured surface, then flatten into a 6? disc on a floured baking tray. using a sharp knife cut a cross halfway through the dough and ***** (pr1ck) a hole in each quarter. 45 mins in oven and it should should hollow on the bottom when you tap it. wrap it for a while with a teatowel to cool if you like crust softer and dont wrap if you like it crisp.

I've only ever made this bread from mixes before, but I've got to say, if it is as easy as it sounds, I'm going to have to try to make it myself. Thanks for the recipe, I'll let you know how it turns out!

Has to be done on the griddle for it to be done right. As soon as it comes out cut in two and put some butter and jam on it.

Hard to beat :thefinger:

[Grizz]

the griddle version is from the North i think. i'd be interested in trying it if you add the details how and any changes needed to basic recipe.

[mattybhoy]
