Ingredients
- 300 g wheat flour Type 405
- 250 ml whole milk 3.5% fat
- 1 tsp spirit vinegar 8%
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine table salt
Preparation
- 1Preheat the oven to 230 °C (top/bottom heat) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- 2Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix them quickly and work the dough only lightly until the ingredients are just combined. The dough should still be slightly lumpy – be careful not to knead it for too long, so the bread remains nice and fluffy.
- 3Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round, flat loaf with a diameter of about 15 cm and a height of approx. 6 cm. Cut a deep cross into the top of the bread with a sharp knife.
- 4Place the sheet in the oven and bake the bread for 10 minutes at 225–230 °C.
- 5Reduce the temperature to 195–200 °C and bake the bread for another 18–20 minutes until done.
- 6Remove the finished bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 30–60 minutes before slicing and enjoying.
Tip
Serve the soda bread best still slightly warm with salted butter or homemade jam. It tastes best fresh!
Knuspr-Küche
Wusstest du, dass das Kreuz im Brot laut irischem Volksglauben den Teufel vertreiben soll? Kulinarisch gesehen hilft es dem Brot, gleichmäßig aufzugehen und herrlich knusprig zu werden. Am besten schmeckt es noch lauwarm mit einem Klecks gesalzener Butter
