Here is a quick, wonderful, and easy to make bread to go with your corned beef and Guinness this evening. I had a few too many and forgot to take a picture. I will come back and add one to this post when I make soda bread again.
Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients:
1 cup + 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour (5 oz) 2/3 cup whole wheat flour (3 oz) 1/2 cup ground oatmeal (2 oz) 1/3 cup shelled hemp seed, toasted (1 1/2 oz) 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 Tbsp. brown sugar 3 Tbsp. SACO Buttermilk Blend (1 oz) 3/4 cup water 1 Tbsp. corn meal
Method:
Preheat the oven to 300° F. Toast the shelled hemp seed on a half sheet pan for 3-4 minutes. Raise the temperature of the oven to 375° F.
Put first eight ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk them together making sure ingredients are distributed evenly. Add water to dry mixture and mix with a spoon or spatula until it is evenly moistened. Form the dough into a ball in the bowl.
Lightly sprinkle sheet pan with corn meal in a six inch circle in the middle. Turn dough out onto the prepared sheet pan. Press down lightly on the dough ball with the spoon or spatula and cut a cross in the top with a serrated knife or a pair of kitchen scissors.
Bake at 375° F for 35-40 minutes.
Notes: SACO Buttermilk Blend is a dried buttermilk powder. For more information please see the SACO Foods web site. You can use 7/8 cup buttermilk instead, just omit the SACO and water.
