Dill Soda Bread
Ingredients
2 cups of plain flour
2 cups of self raising flour
60 grams (4 tablespoons) of butter, cubed
2 teaspoons of bicarb soda (baking soda)
2 1/4 cups of buttermilk
1/3 cup chopped Dill
1 teaspoon of salt
Preparation
1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2
Sift the flours, salt and bicarb soda into a large bowl.
3
Add the butter and rub into the flour mixture.
4
Add the buttermilk and dill and mix to form a dough.
5
Cover a section your kitchen bench with glad wrap (I do this to make cleaning up easier) that will provide enough room to knead the dough. Dust with flour.
6
Turn out the dough onto the floured surface and knead to form a ball shape.
7
Cover a baking tray with baking paper and place the ball into the middle of the tray and score the middle of the ball with a knife to form a cross.
8
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

About
Soda Bread is an Irish style of bread, made with bicarbonate of soda as the raising agent – hence the name. Instead of plain bread, I added some chopped dill, which seems to be my favourite herb of the moment.
