Scale
- 250 g Wholemeal Flour
- 250 g Plain White Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp salt
- Plant based Buttermilk *
- 350 ml plant milk
- 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 4 tbsp melted plantbased butter
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 cup sultanas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 C. Next, make the buttermilk by adding soya milk to a measuring jug with 1 tbsp ACV. Leave it stand for ten minutes.
- Place all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Ensure you whisk the baking soda well into the dry mix to ensure it is evenly distributed.
- Pop the melted butter and syrup to the curdled milk and hey presto it’s now vegan buttermilk. As soda bread doesn’t need yeast, it’s the acidic milk that activates baking soda which gives this bread its rise.
- Once butter and syrup added to curdled milk you should have about 400 ml liquid.
- Gradually pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients, mixing it together with a wooden spoon.
- Time to add in your Optional cup of sultans.
- Dust your hands with flour as they dough maybe a little stick. Bring it together without over kneading. Turn it out onto a dusted sheet of grease proof paper and shape into a round. Slash a cross in the middle of the soda bread.
- Place the Soda Bread on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven and bake for approximately 45 to 50 minutes. You know its done when the cross is dry. Give it a toothpick test to be sure.
