Irish Soda Bread

Posted on November 12, 2010 by chronicinthekitchen

This is so good I’ve included it even though the baking time is almost an hour.

 

3 c. all purpose flour

1 T. baking powder

1/3 c. white sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 c. buttermilk (or regular milk “soured” with 1 T. lemon juice or vinegar and let sit for a bit)

¼ c. oil

 

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a 9 x 5” loaf pan.  If souring milk, prepare at this time.

 

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Mix egg and milk together and add all at once to the flour mixture.  Mix until just moistened.  Stir in oil.  Pour into prepared pan.

 

Bake for 65 – 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack.  Wrap in foil for several hours, or overnight, for best flavor.

 

Preparation time:  15 minutes, approximately.  Makes 1 loaf.

Country Harvest Bread

Posted on August 9, 2010 by chronicinthekitchen

This recipe is for the bread machine. If you don’t have a bread machine, I highly recommend getting one.  You can pull the ingredients together in about 10 minutes in the bread pan and the machine does the work for you.   This one is healthy and fool-proof.

1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup skim milk powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp oil ( I use canola)
1 cup whole Wheat flour
2 cups all purpose or bread flour
1 tbsp gluten – available at better health food stores
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1 tbsp sesame seeds

2 tbsp sunflower seeds, raw , unsalted

1 3/4 tsp bread machine yeast
Measure ingredients into baking pan in the order given. Insert pan into oven chamber. Select the whole wheat setting. You can try different types of seeds, such as pumpkin or poppy, but keep the total amount the same.
Makes one loaf.
