Every
now and again a recipe catches my eye. It has been a while but
recently I came across “Guinness and Treacle Soda
Bread” in the January edition of Waitrose Food January 2020 -The
Feel Good Issue.
I
have always had a weakness for good bread. There's nothing like
home-made bread – the only problem is that it's a bit of a faff and
it takes too long … unless you're making soda bread – no yeast or
kneading needed – what's not to love.
Not
surprising then that this caught my attention. The recipe looks easy
– the photo is fab so lets give it a go. This is genuine research
– so many recipes are a let down, inaccurate – you're drawn in by
the clever photography and the Food Stylist.
What
follows is the exact recipe from the magazine, followed by some hints
and tips and finally a photo guide.
“Wholesome,
rustic soda bread looks and tastes like something that hours of love
and care have gone into. In reality, it's wonderfully simple and
with no yeast or kneading required, a warm loaf can be out of the
oven in about an hour”.
