    BRYANNA¹S IRISH SODA BREAD (OR BANNOCK)


    Source of Recipe


    Bryanna Clark-Grogan

    List of Ingredients




    4 cups wholewheat pastry flour
    OR use 1 c. oat flour (grind rolled oats
    in a DRY blender) and 3 c. wholewheat
    pastry flour OR 1/2 white cake flour and
    1/2 wholewheat pastry flour
    1 T. unbleached or white beet sugar or Sucanat (1 to 4)
    1 and 1/2 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. baking soda
    OPTIONAL: up to 1 c. dried currants or
    raisins
    1 T. caraway seeds (don't use dried fruit if
    you use these)
    1/2 tsp. freshly-ground nutmeg
    1 and 7/8 c. soymilk or other non-dairy
    milk mixed with 2 T. lemon juice or
    vinegar

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium bowl mix the dry ingredients. Stir in the soured soymilk and mix briefly. Knead for 30 seconds. Pat into 1 large or 2 smaller rounds. about 1 and 1/2" thick. Place on a nonstick or
    lightly-oiled and floured cookie sheet, or two round cake tins. Cut a 1/4"-deep cross in the top of each loaf with a razor blade. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake about 30 minutes more, or until crusty. Use right away or cover with a clean tea towel and cool on
    a rack.

    RICHER VERSION: With your fingers, cut 2-4 T. very cold non-dairy margarine (Earth Balance preferred), oil, or Spectrum shortening into the dry ingredients until crumbly.

    Notes: Called "soda bread" in Ireland and "bannock" in Scotland and parts of Canada, this simple quick bread has become richer over the years. This early version contains no fat (see below for richer version), but is tender and delicious. It makes a great substitute for yeast bread if you run out, by the way-- you can even toast it.
