SODA BREAD

It's time to revive my blog! Today's post is good old irish soda bread. Traditional soda bread is made with buttermilk, but not everyone keeps that around, so here is a soda bread recipe that uses things found in everyone's home! I like mine with a lot of soda flavor. If you like less, reduce the baking soda to 1 tsp.



White Soda Bread

4 cups of all purpose flour.
3 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon salt
14 oz of milk (about 1 3/4 cups)
splash of vinegar


1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. degrees. Lightly grease and flour a pot with a fitting lid.

2. In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients.

3. Add the milk and vinegar to form a sticky dough. Place on floured surface and lightly knead (it will be sticky).

4. Put the dough in the pot and flatten it out. Cut a cross in the top of the dough.

5. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 15 minutes.

6. Using potholders, tip the pan over to slide the bread out. Cool on a wire rack.
