Irish Soda Bread Recipe

An easy to use premix for making delicious soda bread made with wholemeal flour milled the traditional way.

You will need: 1 wooden spoon or spatula, a bowl to mix in, a knife, a 2Lb home baking tin, 430 ml of full fat milk and an oven.
Turn the oven on to 200C (fan assisted electric oven) gas mark 6 or moderately hot. And lightly grease your 2Lb tin.

MIX:
Pour the contents of the premix bag (450g) into your mixing bowl and add the milk. Using the wooden spoon mix gently until you form a smooth wet dough.

TIN:
Spoon the dough into the greased baking tin. Lightly press the dough into the corners with your fingers. To help the dough rise, using a wet knife cut the dough lengthways down the centre of the dough about 1’’/ 3cm deep.

BAKE:
Place in your preheated oven straight away and bake for 35-40 minutes. When the bread is baked an inserted skewer should come out clean. Turn onto a wire cooling tray and allow to cool before serving.

Serving suggestion: This delicious bread is extra special with your favourite raspberry jam, soup or smoked salmon.

OVENS: Check your manufacturers’ guidelines as baking characteristics may vary.
