ALERT ALERT ALERT
IT'S EASTER BAKING TIME
and in the Strawberry Sister household easter baking doesn't include
cakes or chocolate or eggs (SAY WHAT?!)
cos it's bread yo
and not just any kind of bread - one specifically for all you yeast-hating folks...
soda bread!
and all you'll need is:
170g wholemeal flour
170g plain flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
290ml buttermilk
(maybe a lil drop of milk if needed)
IT'S THAT SIMPLE
up first, turn the oven to 200 Celsius
weigh out the wholemeal flour
next, weigh out the plain flour
you HAVE to do it in that order
COS WE SAY SO!
okay okay we'll let you do it the other way round - but only cos you asked so nicely
pour the two flours into a bowl
then scoop in the bicarbonate of soda and salt
k
now comes the medium-ly difficult part
make a little cheeky well in the mixture
and fill it with gooey oozy buttermilk
p.s. if the mixture's a little too dry, pour in a few smidges of milk too
then get those hands in there!
(thanks mama strawb for being our hand model)
once you've squidged the dough enough it's time to plop it on the side
shape the dough into a cute little circle and give it a nice little pat down
and final step - cut a cross into the top
OVEN TIME
30 mins later and
boom
your dough has got a nice little tan!
And it doesn't taste half bad either!!!!!
so now rather than popping to the shops for a lil loaf, just whip one up yourself
bake off eat your heart out!
