Serves:
4
Preparation Time:
10 minutes
Cooking Time:
1 hour
Total Time:
1 hour 10 minutes
Oven Temperature:
190° c  -  370° f

Step 1: You will need:

  • 200 g flour
  • 150 g whole wheat flour
  • 25 g sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 240 ml buttermilk
  • 30 g butter
  • some extra whole wheat flour, for dusting
  • 1 mixer with hook attachment
  • 1 knife
  • 1 baking tray lined with parchment paper

Step 2: Preheat the oven

Set the oven to 190ºC (375ºF/ gas mark 5).

Step 3: Make the dough

Pour into the mixer, the flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and the butter. Lower the hook and mix for 1 minute. Whilst still mixing add the egg and the buttermilk. Continue mixing until it blends together. When fully blended, dust your hands and the dough with a little flour and remove.

Step 4: Bake

Shape the dough into a ball and place it onto the prelined baking tray. Sprinkle the top with a dusting of flour and make an "X" on the top of the dough. Place the tray into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.

Step 5: Cool and serve

After 40 minutes, remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool completely by placing it on top of an inverted fork - it will cool quicker this way - and serve!

    @ lounim. Ireland, whether it be the Irish Republic or Northern Ireland IS in The British Isles. That is why it is listed under British Food you idiot. Go back to school thicko. Plus this isn't an authentic Irish Soda Bread recipe anyway!

    In UK, and S. Ireland, we use weights not cups, etc. Also, agree, this is not authentic. My Irish mother-in-law never used eggs. Bicarbinate of soda is baking soda.

    This is NOTa genuine IRISH recipe.Raising agents should be Bicarbonate of soda and Buttermilk. and its done completely by hand.It does not contain either eggs or sugar.
