Recipe Created By: Christi
Ingredients
1/2 heaping tsp baking soda
1/2 heaping tsp salt
4 cups flour
1 1/4 cup buttermilk or substitute
Directions
Sift the flour, salt and baking soda into a bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in most of the buttermilk in to make a loose dough, adding more if necessary. Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead it very slightly. Turn the smooth side up. Flatten it carefully and cut a deep cross on the top.
Bake at 400 °F for about 45 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow if you tap the base. (You may need to turn it over for 5 minutes or so to achieve this.) Place the loaf on a wire rack with a clean tea towel over it to let it cool slowly.
Notes
Brown Soda Bread Variation: Use 1 cup white flour, 3 cups whole-wheat flour; bake for 35 minutes, wrap in tea towel and put on rack to cool
Substitutions
Buttermilk Substitute can be make by combining 1 Tbsp lemon juice (or vinegar) and filling the remainder of the cup with soy or rice milk. Let stand for a couple of minutes. Make with milk substitute that is safe for for your needs.
