If you’ve ever been to Ireland, you’ve probably had a fry-up, complete with soda bread on the side. Soda bread is typically paired with sausage, bacon, and eggs, but why stop there? You can have them with butter, jam or even make them into mini pizzas. Delicious.
Method
Step 1
Sift your soda bread flour into a large mixing bowl
Step 2
Pour half a pint of buttermilk into a jug with 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and mix.
Step 3
Add this mixture gradually to the flour along with a pinch of salt and mix with a fork. It will slowly come together and form into a dough.
Step 4
Shape your dough on a floured surface into a flat circle and cut into quarters.
Step 5
Once the dough is cut, place the floured soda bread on a frying pan for 8 minutes on each side. Be sure to flour the top of the soda bread before flipping. You can also cook these in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 160, flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 6
Once cooked, allow the soda breads to cool and serve. Personally, I love soda bread with bacon, eggs and brown sauce. PS Brown sauce is elite, don’t tell me otherwise.
