Sundried Tomato Soda Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 500 g plain white flour (all purpose flour) (plus more to flour your hands)
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
• 1/2 tsp garlic granules
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp salt
• Pinch freshly ground black pepper
• 200 g sun dried tomatoes (drained weight, chopped into bite-size pieces)
• 450 g thick set yogurt
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan/390F).

2. 2

   Start by putting the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda, garlic granules, dried basil and a pinch pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir to evenly distribute, then make a well in the centre.

3. 3

   Pour the yogurt, lemon juice and sun dried tomatoes into the well. Mix until all the flour is incorporated and it starts to clump.

4. 4

   Flour your hands and briefly knead your dough in the bowl and it forms into a ball.

5. 5

   Gently transfer your dough to a floured nonstick baking sheet.

6. 6

   Score a cross on the top with a sharp knife to help the dough rise.

7. 7

   Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

8. 8

   Cool on a wire rack - be patient as it needs to cool properly or it will be doughy in the centre - and then it's ready to enjoy!
