No Buttermilk Soda Bread (Vegan & Dairy Free)

Ingredients

• 200 g plain white flour
• 150 g wholemeal flour
• 50 g oats (plus extra to scatter on top)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (see note 1)
• 200 ml neutral tasting dairy free milk (see note 2)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar ((or lemon juice, or white wine vinegar – see note 3))

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F. Dust a baking tray (I actually use a pizza tray) with a little plain flour.

2. 2

   Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly. Add the oat milk and vinegar, and stir to combine.

3. 3

   Keep stirring until the ingredients come together as a dough, then squidge together to form a ball.

4. 4

   Place the ball of dough on your baking tray and cut a deep cross in the centre. This is really important as it helps the centre of the bread to cook properly – so cut nice and deep, almost to the bottom.

5. 5

   If you wish, you can dust the loaf with a little flour and a sprinkle of oats, then place the bread in your preheated oven for 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve with soup or salad or anything else you fancy! (And don’t forget it makes great toast the next day…)
