Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F. Dust a non-stick baking tray with a little gluten free plain flour.
- In a large bowl, mix together thoroughly the gluten free plain flour, salt and baking soda.
- In a jug, mix together the milk and vinegar.
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Leave the mixture to rest for 5 minutes. (See Note 6.)
- Bring the dough together into a ball using your hands. The dough should just come together into a ball, but shouldn’t be wet and sloppy. (If it doesn’t all come together, add a splash of water. If it’s too wet and sloppy add a touch more flour.)
- Roll the dough into a ball and place on your prepared baking tray.
- Flatten the ball a little and then cut a deep cross into it. The cross should go almost to the base of the loaf – but not quite!
- Sprinkle the loaf with a little gluten free plain flour.
- Bake the loaf in your pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked all the way through and golden on top.
- Ideally, serve warm – straight out of the oven!
Notes
- Be sure to use plain (all purpose) gluten free plain flour NOT gluten free bread flour and NOT gluten free self-raising flour.
- Salt is a very personal thing. I find ½ to 1 teaspoon is about right for my own personal tastes, but feel free to adjust to suit your own personal preferences.
- Be sure to use baking soda (which is the same as bicarbonate of soda) DO NOT use baking powder, which is a different thing entirely!
- Traditionally soda bread uses buttermilk, however buttermilk can be hard to get hold of and expensive. Regular milk plus 1 tablespoon of vinegar (or lemon juice) works just as well, and means you don’t have to go out and buy special ingredients for this recipe. However, if you prefer, you can use 285g (10oz) buttermilk or 285g (10oz) natural yogurt in this recipe, in place of the milk AND vinegar. Any milk will work in this recipe. I use regular cow’s milk, but you can use a plant-based milk, if you need this to be vegan or dairy free.
- Alternatively, you can use white wine vinegar or lemon juice. At a push you could use red wine vinegar, but DO NOT use malt vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
- I would normally put soda bread straight into the oven, but I find gluten free flour can be a bit ‘gritty’ if you do that. Resting the mixture for 5 minutes before shaping and baking means the flour can absorb some of the liquid from the milk, resulting in a less ‘gritty’ texture. The 5 minute resting time does not affect the loaf’s ability to rise in the oven.
- Suitable for freezing.
