    IRISH SODA BREAD RECIPE
    Ingredients:
    2.5 cups oat flour, or ground oats (250g)
    1.5 cups spelt flour, or whole wheat flour (190g)
    2 tbsp cornstarch
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp caraway seeds
    1.5 cups buttermilk (360ml)
    1 egg
    NUTRITIONAL INFO (per slice):
    189 calories, fat 3.5g, carb 32.2g, protein 8.1g
    Instructions:
    Preheat the oven to 450°F (225°C). Grease a skillet or baking pan.
    Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl: oat flour, spelt flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and caraway seeds.
    In a separate container, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
    Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture.
    Using a spoon, gently stir the mixture until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times to shape it into a round circle.
    Place the shaped dough into the prepared skillet or baking pan.
    Using a sharp knife, score a cross on the top of the dough. This helps the bread expand while baking.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400°F (200°C).
    Continue baking for another 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
    Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes.
    Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
    Serve sliced and enjoy with your favorite spreads or as a side to soups and stews.
    Note: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

      You can make your own as well, if you're ever in a pinch: For every 1 cup of milk, stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar. Let sit for 10 minutes.

    • @HowToCookSmarter
      @HowToCookSmarter  3 місяці тому +3

      Hi! You can make your own buttermilk using dairy-free milk of your choice and some lemon juice, the acidity is what really matters, you need to activate that baking soda. For buttermilk, let's say 1 cup soy milk and 1 tbsp lemon juice, and let it sit for a few minutes.

    • @HowToCookSmarter
      @HowToCookSmarter  3 місяці тому

      Well, sourdough bread is made from the starter, not really the baking soda... This soda bread is more dense compared to sourdough bread, due to its shorter preparation and lack of yeast fermentation. Talking about the health benefits, both methods are fine, it's more about what type of flour you use.
