I always try to bake my own bread, but to be completely honest here I don’t get to do that very often. Who has the time to wait for at least 3 hours? I guess I could be more organised and think in advance when bread is need for dinner. But that is not always possible either. Thanks to the Irish, there is a quicker solution for home bread baking. Soda bread as the title suggest uses baking soda instead of yeast, therefore the rising process is faster. So no waiting time! Great! Over a week ago I baked these little soda bread buns for dinner (we had burgers) that had spelt. You see, I really wanted to try Leatheringsett Watermill spelt flour!
WHOLESOME SODA BUNS makes 8-10 buns
- 250g spelt flour
- 250g strong white flour
- 10g salt
- 4tsp baking powder
- 150ml milk
- 150ml yogurt
- 1 egg, whisked
- seeds of your choice (optional, I used sesame seeds)
1. Combine all the ingredients in the bowl (except egg and seeds) and kneed briefly to make a dough.
2. Divide the dough into 8 or 10 balls. Place them on a baking tray and cut a cross in the top f each bun. Brush some whisked egg on top and sprinkle with seeds.
3. Bake these buns in preheated 200C oven for about 20 min until they sound hollow when tapped on the base.
4. Let the buns cool for few minutes before enjoying them 😉 .
Have a lovely week!
