Home Made Brown Soda Bread
Ingredients
350g/12oz Ground Wholemeal
125g/4oz Cream Flour
15g/1/2 oz Wheatgerm (optional)
275-425ml/1/2-3/4pt Buttermilk or Sour Cream
1 tsp Bread Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
25g/1oz Bran (optional)
Method
Sieve the cream flour, salt and bread soda into a bowl.
Mix in the wholemeal, wheatgerm and bran, if used.
Add enough milk to make a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured board.
Knead until the mixture comes together smoothly.
Place dough on a floured baking sheet. Cut a cross over the top.
Place in a central oven position and bake in a preheated oven 400°F, 200°C, Gas 6 for approx. 40 mins. When baked the bread will have a hollow sound if tapped on the base.
Cool on a wire tray. A dry tea towel wrapped around the bread at this stage helps to give a softer crust.
