Soda Bread with Cheddar Cheese, Olives and Red Peppers

Soda Bread with Cheddar Cheese, Olives and Red Peppers, a twist on the classic Irish Soda Bread. The addition of cheddar cheese, olives and pickled roasted red peppers give a subtle pizza flavour, making this classic bread even better, if that was even possible. No yeast, no kneading, amazing homemade bread ready in just about 40 minutes. My Cheddar Cheese Soda Bread is baked to perfection, and great on its own or as a side dish.

  1. In a large bowl, sift the flours, and add the salt and the bicarb of soda.
  2. Slice the olives and red peppers, and add them to the bowl together with the grated cheese.
  3. Mix to combine, then pour over the buttermilk, and mix gently to bring the ingredients together into a dough.
  4. Flour a baking tray, and transfer the dough to the tray, shaping it into a ball.
  5. Flatten the ball gently, then use a sharp knife to cut a cross on top of the dough.
  6. Dust with more flour.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 35 minutes or until golden, and it has a hollow sound when the bread is tapped on the bottom.
  8. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool before slicing it.
