I lastly had an opportunity to take a seat down this morning and kind by the pile of notes, menus, books, and magazines I introduced again from a visit to Portland, Oregon. There’s a loaf of six-seed soda bread baking within the oven, plus a slab of butter on the counter ready for it. I at all times top off on books when touring and on this journey I snagged a replica of Edible Portland, a replica of Reza Mahammad’s Rice, Spice, and all Issues Good, and a replica of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Each Day.
Soda Bread: Inspiration
The soda bread recipe in Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s guide jumped out at me instantly as I flipped by the pages. I make soda bread very often (my favourite is a rye model), partially as a result of soda bread comes collectively very quickly, with only a small handful of components. You’ll be able to have a loaf within the oven in beneath ten minutes.
With a number of tweaks to his recipe, I have been having fun with Hugh’s seeded, multi-grain flour model. His soda bread is made with a mix of spelt flour and all-purpose flour, the dough is totally affected by seeds – sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flax seeds, and fennel seeds. The fennel is a pleasant wildcard, and the entire loaf takes on a pleasant crunchy crust with a lot of bonus seeds on high.

Six Seed Soda Bread: Variations

I did a number of tweaks to the recipe that must be value mentioning: as I didn’t have spelt flour, I substituted rye flour; and since I’m a vegan, I substituted the buttermilk for rice milk combined with lemon juice (1 tablespoon lemon juice for 3/4 cup of milk). It turned out tremendous yummy!”
