Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 and grease a baking sheet with a little oil or line it with baking paper.
- Tear the kale leaves into bite sized pieces and boil or steam them for a few minutes until tender. Refresh by running under cold water to cool, then drain, squeeze out any excess moisture and puree to a paste with a hand blender.Note: Kale can be fibrous, so if necessary add a little of the buttermilk to aid pureeing.
- Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, herbs, sea salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl, adding any sifted out herbs or salt back to the bowl, and make a well in the middle.
- Stir the pureed kale into the buttermilk, then add it to the well in the dry mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon until it forms a sticky dough.
- With floured hands, pat the dough into a ball and flatten slightly, then place on the baking sheet.
- Cut a deep cross across the top with a knife and sprinkle it with a little flour.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden and tapping the bottom of the soda bread makes a hollow sound. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Make it vegan: use non-dairy milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice instead of buttermilk
- Make it gluten-free: use gluten free plain flour
