There are many different recipes for soda bread many of which I have tried. The strangest thing is that the 1st one that I ever tried is still my favourite. This recipe was given to me when I was 9 years old by my scout leader and was one of the 1st things that I made on my own which makes this recipe very special to me. This is a loaf of bread that you can have on the table in under an hour made just using store cupboard essentials. This isn't the most Irish soda bread so I have a couple of adaptations should you wish to use them: you can use white flour instead of wholewheat if you don't have and I prefer to shape the bread into a round shape and slash a cross in the top instead of baking the bread in a tin.
550g (1lb) wholewheat flour
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tsp salt
237ml (1/2 pint) milk
Mix all of the ingredients together to form a dough.
Place in a well buttered dish and cover with another dish.
Bake at 220c or gas7 for 30 minutes.
Remove the top dish and bake for a further 10 minutes to brown the crust.
Enjoy!
