Whole Grain Irish Soda Bread
photo by COOKGIRl
- Ready In:
- 32mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
1 small loaf
ingredients
- 0.50 lb whole wheat flour (I used whole spelt flour)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3⁄4 cup buttermilk, might need more (low fat)
directions
- In a big bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center.
- Add buttermilk and stir to combine. Knead into a smooth, shaggy dough. If the dough is too wet, add more flour, if it is too dry, add a tad more buttermilk.
- On a lightly floured surface roll into a ball. Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and slightly pat down.
- Make a cross on top using a sharp knife. Sprinkle some flour on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for about 25 minutes checking in near the end to prevent overbrowning. If a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, it is ready. Alternatively you can tap it on the bottom and if it sounds hollow, it is ready.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- This is best eaten the day it is made, but will keep wrapped in a clean tea towel for a few days.

This was very easy to make. I couldn't stop myself from adding two tablespoons of<br/>currants and 3/4 teaspoon of lightly crushed caraway seeds. The bread was cooked in<br/>a pre-heated cast iron skillet. Tried freshly milled whole wheat. Served with butter and homemade jam for Elevenses. ~Tasty Dish~ approved, too. Made for Veg Tag/October.
