I see Bread - I see Bread - I see Bread.

About time for another blog entry, this one took longer than expected but as my schedule clears and now that I've worked through some of the video encoding issues I'm pleased to bring you our first video entry. In it Grant will show you how to make a beautiful Irish Soda Bread.

First the recipe (as Grants commentary may be a little askew...)
250 grams of Plain Flour
250 grams of Wholemeal Flour
1 tsp of  Baking Soda
1 tsp of Salt
30 grams of Buter
300 ml of Buttermilk

Method:

So, to recap...
Place dry ingredients in mixing bowl then rub in butter.
Add the buttermilk and mix until still slightly crumbly.
Knead for 3 minutes on a clean bench.
Shape into a flattened disc and score the top.
Bake on a flat tray at 180 degrees (C) for about 30 minutes - it should be crusty on outside and sound hollow when tapped.
