Ingredients
- 3 cups (500g) all purpose flour / plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarb of soda)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups (350ml) buttermilk (or milk with 2 teaspoons white vinegar or lemon juice stirred in and left for a few minutes to thicken slightly)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F / 180°C.
- Whisk the flour, soda and salt together in a mixing bowl.
- Add the buttermilk and stir to combine. Use your hands to bring it together into a workable ball. If necessary add a little more flour or buttermilk/milk.
- Add the dough to a baking sheet lined with baking paper and pat it into a round.
- Slash a deep cross through the round of dough (this will help it to cook properly).
- Bake for 30 minutes or until risen, golden and cooked through.
- Cool on a wire rack, then slice and enjoy.
- Tip: Soda bread is best eaten within 2 days. After the first day, it is best toasted as it can dry out.
Notes
- Don't have buttermilk on hand? Mix whole milk with 2 teaspoons white vinegar or lemon juice stirred in and leave it for a few minutes to thicken slightly. Use as a 1:1 substitute for buttermilk.
- If needed use a bit more buttermilk when forming the dough to create a ball of dough that is easy to work with but not sticky.
- Adding a cross to the dough before baking is important because it allows the heat to evenly penetrate the loaf while baking.
- Soda bread is best eaten within 2 days. After the first day or two, it is best toasted as it can dry out.
