it's that time of year again, so i'm deviating from my usual simpler flatbreads. this morning i baked some sodabread for tonight's dinner.
I preheated the oven to 350 and readied a large mixing cup and a mixing bowl.
I rounded up some:
unbleached wheat flour (4 cups),
corn meal (1/2 cup),
baking powder (2 Tbs.),
salt (2 Tbs.),
sugar (1/2 cup),
alspice (about 8 pods),
caraway seed (2 Tbs.),
butter (1 stick).
vinegar (1/4 cup)
milk (2 cups)
the caraway and allspice where crushed and added to the rest of the dry ingredients then well mixed in the large bowl. the butter was cut in.
the vinegar was added to the mixing cup and the milk poured into it. this was added to the mixing bowl and mixed well. this was divided into 4 portions which where rolled into balls, rolled in flour, placed on a greased baking sheet and cross-slit on top. these where then dusted with flour and baked about 35 min until done.
i let these stand until just warm and fiendishly broke into one to see how they came out. pretty good, if i might say myself.
