This Saturday I got up earlier looking forward to prepare and share with all you this delicious homemade soda bread, simple but actually flavourful. It´s an express bread recipe that doesn´t need previous fermentation, fresh leavening or to knead until we get exhausted. The result is outstanding: bread with soft and fluffy crumb, fine and crispy crust, ideal for tasting with butter or cheese, or simply without complement. Want to surprise on Saint Valentine´s Day with a bread made by yourself? This is your opportunity to shine and become heart´s queen or king.
The ingredients are quite simple and if you read at the end you´ll be able to keep some more ideas. With this recipe as beginning, you could create others with some more personal touches. It is the kind of bread the less skilled cook can prepare without troubles at all. You can look out this bread on Iván Yarza´s book Pan Casero, that have taken me off my fears and false myths around bread preparation.
Ingredients to prepare Seeds Soda bread
245 g whole meal flour
15 g bread flour (it´s flour with more than 10 g of protein)
3 tsp soda (Royal powders)
1/2 tbsp poppy seeds
1/2 tbsp linen seed non toasted
1/2 tbsp sesame seed non toasted
1 tbsp peeled sunflower seed
1 1/2 tbsp honey
7 g salt
280-300 g water (200 ml approximately)
How to prepare Seeds soda bread
- Preheat the oven 220 Celsius degree, up and down position. Prepare a rectangular mould. You should spread it with butter first and flour after that if the mould is not nonstick.
- Mix into a bowl flour, soda, salt, seeds, the honey and water. Blend with your hand until integrating all. It has to looks like a sticky, pretty much humid mixture. Add more water if your fingers doesn´t feel catchy.
- Pour the mixture into the mould, flour and put into the oven during 40 minutes. Only if has it golden quickly, you need cover it with some baking paper.
- 40 minutes later take it away from the oven, remove from its mould and let cold before have breakfast.
I´m sure you gonna repeat this recipe, just if you want some innovation then use white flour instead of whole meal flour. Add some raisins or chocolate chips instead of seeds. You can also cook up this same bread recipe without a mould, doing a ball with the mixture, but you have to use less water and proceed making a cruise with two perpendicular deep cuts before introducing it into the oven. Enjoy it as much as we did at our Saturday´s breakfast.
