Bread = weakness
I made sure I packed my new baking book for my long weekend down to Sevenoaks and started familiarizing myself with kneading, rising, proving, and baking while on the plane. I have also identified a few baking utensils that need to be added to my kitchen collection!! :) soon... hehe. Something called a Scotch Scraper will be my first essential bread baking tool, then working upwards eventually to a fabulous mixing machine (the ones in bright metallic colours!!)
Without much objection my new baking book was greatly accepted in the Sowden/Wood household.
Let the bread making begin :)
Soda Bread
Ingredients: (Serves 4)
- 500g plain white flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 400ml buttermilk
Instructions:
Heat your oven to 220C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl, then stir in the buttermilk. to form a sticky dough. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and mould into a ball. Flatten the dough sightly with your hand and cross-cut the dough. Lightly dust the top with flour.
Bake for 30 mins or until the loaf if golden brown. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Tear it up to serve :)
