Yer holding up de queue!
This recipe comes from Maureen. It's her amazing chocolate cake that is, unbelievably, dairy free. Shocker! Best chocolate cake I've ever tasted.... Maureen, bake on!
So, here it is my first blog post. No better way to start it off than with a great little recipe for a simple, quick and easy "lazy loaf", courtesy of Nigel Slater. This bread is so easy to make, in fact it would be very hard to get it wrong! (no, not offering a prize to those that do manage to get it wrong... Mah!). Very tasty fresh from the oven with some butter and cheddar cheese on it..... Yum, yum! Go on, why not give it a go!?
225g/8oz wholemeal flour
225g/8oz plain flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
350ml/12fl oz buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 8. Put a large casserole dish and its lid into the oven.
In a large bowl, mix the flours, sea salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda together with your fingers. Pour in the buttermilk, bringing the mixture together as a soft dough. Working quickly (the bicarbonate of soda will start working immediately), shape the dough into a shallow round loaf about 4cm/1½in thick.
Remove the hot casserole dish from the oven, dust the inside lightly with flour then lower in the dough. Cover with the lid and return to the oven.
The bread should be ready after 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave in place for 5 minutes before turning out and leaving to cool slightly before eating. (Soda bread is best eaten warm.)
