Cheese and Onion Soda Bread
Not that I drink a lot of beer (I prefer lager), but this bread is delicious! Serve with a good mature Cheddar cheese.
Ingrediënten
- 500 g strong white flour plus extra for dusting
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 300 ml buttermilk
- 75 gbutter softened
- 20 g baking powder
- 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
- 75 g Cheddar cheese grated
Instructies
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7.
- Line a baking tray.
- Put all the ingredients except the onion and cheese in a food mixer and, using a paddle blade and medium speed, blend together for 2 minutes.
- Alternatively, put into a bowl and mix well by hand for 5 minutes.
- Add the onion and cheese and incorporate, either by hand or in the mixer (don’t overmix), into the dough.
- Divide the dough into two pieces and tip out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Shape each piece into a ball, then flatten each with your hand so they are approximately 5 cm/2 inches thick.
- Cut a deep cross into each, dust with a little flour and put on the baking tray.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then serve warm.
