| Irish Soda Bread |
 Makes one loaf; bearing in mind that with bi-carb soda as the only raising agent it will be quite a compact bread when cooked.Ingredients 4 cups Organic Light Sift Wheat Flour 2 tsp Bi-Carb Soda 1 tsp Salt 60g Butter, cubed 2-2 ½ cups Buttermilk Method Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Line a tray with baking paper. Mix the flour, bi-carb soda and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter. Mix in the buttermilk to form a dough. Tip dough onto floured surface and roll into a ball. Put the ball onto the baking paper lined tray and press down to make a 20cm diameter round loaf. Cut a slight cross on the top.Bake in oven for approx 35-40 min. When the loaf has cooled down, keep in a plastic bag or airtight container to keep moist. This way it will last a couple of days. Enjoy sliced with butter and cheese or avocado and sliced tomato, or as an accompaniment to a fresh vegetable soup.
