Traditional Ireland recipe

Soda Bread:
1.Grease and flour a 8" (20cm) cake tin (high walls are better but not necessary.).
2 .Preheat oven to 190C/375F or 180C/350F if using a fan assisted oven.
3. Sieve self-rising flour with bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt into a
large bowl. (It is important to sieve the bicarbonate of soda with the self-rising
flour, if it is added at a later stage it will give the bread a greenish tinge!).
4. Add the wheat flour to the bowl (no need to sieve).
5. In a jug mix the yogurt, honey and olive oil then pour onto the flour mixtures
in the bowl.
6. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed and a soft sticky dough is formed.
7. Flour a surface for kneading and knead lightly (20 turns max). Form into a
round shape, this does not have to fit the tin as it will spread when cooking.
8. Transfer to the floured cake tin and with a knife cut a cross across the top and
place in the oven for 45 minutes. (The cutting of the cross helps to portion the
bread for slicing in quarters.).
9. Eat when cool.
