Soda Bread white

Soda bread can be made using just flour, salt, sugar, soda and buttermilk but the addition of oil and eggs keep the soda bread soft for longer

makes two loaves

1kg flour
40g brown sugar or caster
15g bicarbonate of soda
15g salt

2 eggs
100ml oil sunflower
about 500ml buttermilk

sultanas (optional)

Mix together all dry ingredients
Make a well in the middle and add in the eggs, oil and about 3/4 of the buttermilk, add more buttermik as necessary.

You  can divide the mixture between two buttered and floured loaf tins or turn out on to a floured table and form two traditional round loafs, cutting a cross into the centre. Place on a tray lined with grease proof and dust the loaves with flour.

Cook at 180 for 50minutes to 1 hour.

served with butter and jam (I'll post a jam recipe soon)
