Yield Makes one 8"-diameter loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup millet
1/4 cup quinoa
2 tablespoons amaranth
1 cup old-fashioned oats, plus more for topping
2 1/4 cups buttermilk, divided, plus more for brushing
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for pan
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons flaxseed
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup sunflower seeds, plus more for topping
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons brown rice syrup or mild-flavored (light) molasses

Steps:

  • Mix millet, quinoa, amaranth, 1 cup oats, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. Cover and let sit 8-12 hours. (Alternatively, bring ingredients to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and let sit until mixture is thick like porridge, about 2 hours.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8"-diameter cast-iron skillet or cake pan. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flaxseed, salt, baking soda, and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds in a large bowl. Work in butter with your fingers until largest pieces are pea-size. Make a well in the center and add brown rice syrup, oat mixture, remaining 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough is smooth, homogenous, and still slightly sticky.
  • Form dough into a ball and place in prepared pan. Brush with buttermilk; top with more oats and sunflower seeds. Cut a large X into the top and bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of loaf registers 190°F, 55-70 minutes. Let cool in pan.
  • Do ahead
  • Bread can be baked 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

SEEDED SODA BREAD

Make our easy yeast-free, wholemeal loaf, which requires no kneading or proving. We've used vegan-friendly oat milk, but you can use ordinary milk if you prefer

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Side dish

Time 45m

Yield Cuts into 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 5

520g plain wholemeal flour, plus extra for dusting
50g four-seed mix (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame and golden flax seeds), plus extra for sprinkling
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
400ml fortified oat milk
2 tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the flour, seeds and bicarb in a bowl, then mix together the milk and lemon juice in a small jug and pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir with a knife until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
  • Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and lightly shape into a ball with wet or floured hands, as it will be sticky to handle. Lift onto a floured baking tray, reshape if required, then sprinkle more seeds over the top and press them in lightly. Bake for 35-40 mins until firm and golden. Cool on a wire rack, then wrap in foil until needed. Will keep chilled for up to four days, or frozen for up to a month.

NOREEN KINNEY'S IRISH SODA BREAD

Provided by Greg Patent

Categories     Bread     Breakfast     Side     Bake     St. Patrick's Day     Healthy     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 1 round loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour or graham flour, plus more for shaping
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup untoasted wheat germ
2 tablespoons flaxseed
1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 large egg
About 1 3/4 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat a heavy baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray or line it with a silicone baking pan liner or aluminum foil.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. Add the butter and work it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the fat particles are very fine. Stir in the baking soda, salt, sugar, wheat bran, oat bran, wheat germ, flaxseed, and sunflower seeds.
  • Beat the egg lightly with a fork in a 2-cup glass measure. Add enough buttermilk to come to the 2-cup line and stir with the fork to combine well. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dough gathers into a thick, wet-looking mass.
  • Sprinkle your work surface with whole wheat flour and scrape the dough onto it. Dust the dough with a bit more whole wheat flour. Pat the dough into a circular shape about 7 inches across and 2 inches high and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Don't be concerned about evenness-the loaf should look rustic. Make a cross-shaped indentation on top of the loaf going right to the edges. I use a plastic bench scraper and press it into the dough very gently; don't actually cut the dough. During baking the indentation expands, giving the top of the loaf an attractive pattern.
  • Bake the bread for about 40 minutes, until it is well browned and sounds hollow when rapped on the bottom. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf should register 195° to 200°F. Cool the loaf on a wire cooling rack, and serve warm or at room temperature. Cut into quarters and slice each quarter with a sharp serrated knife. Delicious with butter.
  • Storing:
  • The loaf keeps well at room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 2 to 3 days. The entire loaf or quarters of it can also be frozen when completely cool. Wrap in plastic wrap, place in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Thaw completely before unwrapping. If desired, refresh the bread in a preheated 300°F oven for 10 minutes.

1 ¼ cups warm skim milk
2 tablespoons margarine, melted

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your soda bread. Look for stone-ground whole wheat flour, good quality butter, and fresh buttermilk.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then shape the dough into a round loaf.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to grow and produce carbon dioxide, which will give the bread its characteristic light and fluffy texture.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: Baking the bread at a high temperature will create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) before baking the bread.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Light soda bread with sunflower seeds is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a versatile bread that can be served with a variety of meals, from soups and stews to salads and sandwiches. With its light and fluffy texture and nutty flavor, light soda bread with sunflower seeds is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
