Try Me On A Thursday - St Patrick's Day Special

Happy St Patrick's Day!!  Today’s Try Me on A Thursday recipe is inspired by the classic Irish Soda Bread.  Now traditionally soda bread is made with buttermilk, but I have veganized and made this recipe gluten free with a few substitutions.  It is perfect if you are yeast free also, as the raising agent used is bicarbonate of soda – so more time for eating and less time to wait for the bread to rise!!

Method


-Preheat the oven to gas mark 6

-Add the milk, vinegar and oil in a jug and leave for 10mins.

-Add all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well

-Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl and form a nice dough

-Place the dough on a lightly greased baking tray and make a shallow cross on top with a knife

-Bake in the oven for 30-40mins turning the bread over in the last 10mins of baking until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

-Leave to cool out of the oven and eat and enjoy!!

 

I know the Irish traditionally eat corned beef and cabbage with soda bread, but I had mine with some fermented cabbage and a green salad. Let me know how your soda bread turned out and how you like to eat yours!
