Seeded Soda Bread

Soda bread is one of the most rewarding bakes. Not everyone has the time of day to wait for second proves and dough to double, and so to be able to place a loaf of great homemade bread on the table in under an hour is an excellent thing. 

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C. In a bowl, mix together the flours, bicarbonate and seeds until well incorporated. Add the milk and yogurt with a little seasoning and beat until fully combined. It will be a fairly soft mixture.

Step 2

Dust a baking tray with a little more flour and tip the dough onto it. Using a little more flour, roughly shape the bread into a round and cut a cross into the middle, slicing all the way down.

Step 3

Bake for around 30 minutes, or until golden and hollow sounding when the bottom is tapped. This is very good hot, served with a good slab of butter melting on top.
