Recipes: Brown Soda Bread

The following recipe is the one we use to make our brown bread at the Waterfront House and is requested by hundreds of people who stay with us each year - it goes down a treat!!

Ingredients:

275g/10oz Odlums Coarse Ground Wholemeal
175g/6oz Odlums Cream Flour
275-425ml/½-¾pt Buttermilk
1 tsp Bread Soda
½ tsp Salt
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method:

Sieve the cream flour, salt and bread soda into a bowl. Mix in the wholemeal. Add the olive oil and enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Mix with a wooden spoon. Lightly grease a pre heated 2lb/900g loaf tin with a little olive oil. Place mixture in the loaf tin and cut a track lengthways over the top.

Place in a central oven position and bake in a preheated oven 400°F, 200°C, Gas 6 for approx. 50 to 65 mins., depending on your oven. 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.
