ROSEMARY AND CHEDDAR SODA BREADS

Time 45m

Yield 4 breads

Number Of Ingredients 8

Neutral oil, for oiling the baking sheet, optional
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 packed cup grated Cheddar (grated on the large holes of a box grater)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/4 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flours, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Stir in the Cheddar and chopped rosemary. Make a well in the middle. Add the buttermilk and, using a fork, mix until just combined. This will give you a soft, sticky dough, which makes a nice moist loaf. With floured hands, divide the dough into 4, scrape each one onto the prepared baking sheet and pat into a light round. Using a chef's knife, deeply score each soda bread with a cross on top (this will allow the heat to penetrate the center of the dough).
  • Bake until the breads are dark golden all over and sound hollow when you tap the bottoms, about 30 minutes.

ROSEMARY AND CRANBERRY SODA BREAD

Categories     Bread     Bake     St. Patrick's Day     Cranberry     Rosemary

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

450g (1lb) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp bread soda
1 tsp salt
100g (4oz) dried cranberries
4 fresh rosemary sprigs, leaves stripped and finely chopped
350ml (12fl oz) buttermilk, plus a little extra if necessary
butter, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F/gas mark 7).
  • Sift the flour, bread soda and salt into a bowl. Stir the cranberries and rosemary through and make a well in the centre. Add the buttermilk and using a large spoon, mix gently and quickly until you have achieved a nice soft dough. Add a little bit more buttermilk if necessary, until the dough binds together without being sloppy.
  • Knead the dough very lightly on a lightly floured surface and then shape into a round that is roughly 15cm (6in) in size. Place on a non-stick baking sheet and cut a deep cross in the top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200°C (400°F/gas mark 6) and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the loaf is evenly golden and crusty. To check that the bread is properly cooked, tap the base - it should sound hollow. If it doesn't, return it to the oven for another 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked soda bread to a wire rack and leave to cool for about 20 minutes. This bread is best eaten while it's still warm.
  • To serve, place the soda bread on a breadboard and cut into slices at the table. Have a dish of butter to hand for spreading.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, plus softened butter for serving
1 1/4 cups cold buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Freshly ground black pepper
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large cast-iron skillet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Parmesan, sugar, rosemary, kosher salt, baking powder, baking soda and red pepper flakes. Working over the bowl, grate the butter on the large holes of a box grater, letting the grated butter fall over the flour mixture. Gently toss the butter into the flour. Using a fork, stir in the buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Scrape the dough onto a work surface, gather up any crumbs and knead gently until the dough just comes together. Shape the dough into a round loaf and transfer it to the prepared skillet. Slash an X about 1/4 inch deep in the top of the bread. Brush the bread with buttermilk, then sprinkle with Parmesan and pepper.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden and it sounds hollow when lightly tapped, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let cool at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with softened butter and flaky sea salt.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rosemary and cranberries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the bread tough.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can bake the bread in a regular loaf pan, but you may need to adjust the baking time.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Rosemary and cranberry soda bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh rosemary and cranberries, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. If you are looking for a unique and flavorful bread recipe, then rosemary and cranberry soda bread is the perfect choice for you.
