Hello mtorreno, welcome to the forum, it's lovely to have someone from Ireland join us.  How long is the wait time for delivery over there?

Hi judydawn!  They say I'll have it by next week.  I had a demo at home yesterday and now I'm finding it difficult to cook the traditional way knowing it's on the way!!!

Welcome mtorreno. The waiting is very hard, I think most of us found it very hard. Thankfully your wait time isn't too long. Please feel free to ask for help on here. We love to help people.

Hello!

I'm also very new, from London but I do have a soda bread recipe (not TM though)


Soda Bread

10 oz extra coarse wholemeal flower pref Odlams Irish Flour
10 oz strong white bread flour
1oz wheatgerm
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp bicarb
Approx 1 pint buttermilk
2 tsp brown sugar

Heat oven to 200c 180c fan

Grease baking tray with butter.

Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl

Add buttermilk slowly while mixing to soft but not wet dough – need to be able to roll into a ball on a floured board

tip: you can freeze excess buttermilk

Gently roll in ball on a floured board - needs very little handling.  Place on greased tray and with sharp knife (bless the bread by) cutting a cross in the top

Bake for approx 40 mins till loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom

Wrap in cling film and freeze – to defrost put in microwave in cling film and will be like fresh
