Irish Brown Bread (Soda Bread)
Preparation and cooking time: 60 minutes
This is so easy, I make it often, especially in winter, to go with soup or just to have with a cup of tea on a cold wintry afternoon.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 180gr, 6.3oz
- 1/2 cup white flour, 62gr, 2.2oz
- 2 heaping tbs oatmeal, 20gr, .7oz
- 2 heaping tbs bran flakes, 20gr, .7oz
- 2 tbs butter, 28.4gr, 1oz
- 1 tsp sugar, 4.2gr, .15oz
- 1 heaping tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt, 3gr, .1oz
- 1 cup plain yogurt, 240gr, 8.5oz
- 1 cup milk, measurements aren't precise, just equal 2 cups, 240gr, 8.5oz
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
- I use an 8.5" (22cm) round baking pan with 2" (5cm) sides for this. Butter the pan, then 'flour' it: put about 1 tbs flour in the pan and tilt the pan so that the flour covers all of the buttered area. Any excess just tip into the sink.
- Put all dry ingredients into a deep bowl.
- Add the butter and cut in with a pastry cutter, fork or 2 knives. You want it to end up looking like small pebbles.
- Stir the yogurt and milk together, then stir the mixture into the flour/butter and mix well.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and tip out of pan on to a wire rack and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Slice and serve or allow to cool completely.
Note: I normally cut the loaf in half; we eat half and freeze half for later in the week. It keeps well for 3 days without freezing.
