Milk Stout soda bread
No yeast, no proving, no waiting. Bicarbonate of soda and buttermilk do the work, and the stout does the rest.
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 200g plain flour
- 550g wholemeal flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 can of Big Drop Milk Stout
- 220ml buttermilk
Method
- Preheat the oven to 230°C and grease a loaf tin with the vegetable oil.
- Add the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir through the wholemeal flour and sugar.
- Pour in the stout and buttermilk.
- Mix to form a wet dough.
- Flour your surface and tip the dough onto it. Roll and fold, roll and fold, roll and fold.
- Mix gently until it forms a rectangle — enough to fit the tin.
- Place the dough into the greased loaf tin and neaten up the edges.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 230°C, then reduce the oven to 180°C.
- Bake for another 25 minutes.
- Let it cool in the tin, then place on a cooling rack.
- Get the butter out of the fridge.
