Soda bread

Are you making a soup this autumn?  This soda bread is a perfect accompaniment.

This is so incredibly easy to make.  I am really surprised about how quickly you can turn around an impressive and delicious loaf.  Thanks to Riverford for inspiration.


250g (9oz) plain flour
250g (9oz) wholemeal flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

5 grated carrots
a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans
a few sprigs of thyme

300ml plain yoghurt with a little yoghurt
125 ml whole milk

-----------------------------

1.  If you are using a mixer, whizz up dry ingredients.

2.  Add a grater to the mixer, and grate in carrots.  Add nuts and thyme.

3.  Mix in the yoghurt and milk until a good consistency formed for pressing into a dough.  Don't overmix or knead.  Shape into a circle and cut a deep cross (1 inch) through the middle.

4.  Cook in a 200 degree oven for 25 minutes (on a pre-heated baking tray).  You may need to cook for a little longer.  Just check by taping the bottom and listening for the hollow sound.
