Soda Bread with Yogurt
Quick, rustic, and tangy — this soda bread needs no rise time, just yogurt and baking soda to work their magic. Warm from the oven, its crumb is soft, its crust golden, and its character unmistakable.
Ingredients
- 650g flour
- 200g yogurt
- 200g water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the dry ingredients:
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the salt, sugar, and baking soda. Mix well to combine. - Combine wet ingredients:
In another large bowl, mix the yogurt and water until smooth. - Form the dough:
Gradually add the flour mixture to the yogurt and water, kneading as you go. Continue kneading until you have a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. Add a little more flour or water if needed. - Shape the loaves:
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a round loaf. - Prepare for baking:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the loaves on it. Use a knife to score the tops of the loaves with 2-3 cuts. - Bake immediately:
This bread doesn’t require proofing. Place the loaves directly into a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) and bake for 15 minutes. - Adjust temperature:
Lower the oven temperature to 180°C (356°F) and continue baking for another 45-50 minutes until the loaves are golden brown and cooked through.
