Soda Bread With Oats Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup oats, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In another bowl, mix together sour cream, milk, honey, and sugar. Add to the flour mixture, and mix just until well blended. Stir in melted butter or margarine.
• Turn dough onto a lightly sprayed baking sheet. Shape into a round, lightly mounded circle, about 8 inches diameter. Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter or margarine, and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon oats. With a knife, score the top of the loaf into quarters.
• Bake for about 40 minutes, or until browned. Cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• In a mini-food processor, fitted with a metal blade, pulse the oatmeal until the meal is very fine. Remove from the processor and turn into a mixing bowl. Stir the buttermilk into the oats and cover with plastic wrap. Let the oatmeal steep in the buttermilk for 12 hours.
• In a mixing bowl, sift the other ingredients together. Stir in the steeped oatmeal and mix well. If the mixture is too wet add a little more flour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with the butter.
• Lightly dust the work surface with some flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead the dough a couple of times to form a soft ball like shape. Press the dough into a round about 2 inches thick. Using a sharp knife, make a criss-cross cut into the bread. Place the bread in the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve the bread warm with butter.

Steps:

• If using sour milk, prepare and set aside.
• In a large bowl mix 2 1/4 cup of the flour with the rest of the dry ingredients.
• Form a well in the center.
• In another bowl (or large measuring cup) whisk together the egg and milk.
• Pour milk mixture into the dry ingredients and fold until JUST combined.
• Turn out onto floured surface and knead the other 1/4 cup of flour into the bread being careful not to overwork the dough.
• Cut dough in half.
• Form into 2 round loaves.
• Cut a cross into the top of each loaf.
• Dust with flour and sprinkle with additional oats.
• Sprinkle baking sheets (I prefer to use baking stones) with oats to prevent sticking and bake loaves at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C and dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Pour in the buttermilk and mix it in quickly with a table knife, then bring the dough together very lightly with your fingertips (handle it very, very gently). Now shape it into a flat, round loaf measuring 20cm/8in in diameter.
• Put the loaf on the baking sheet and score a deep cross in the top. (Traditionally, this lets the fairies out, but it also helps the bread to cook through.) Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. If it isn't ready after this time, turn it upside down on the baking sheet and bake for a few minutes more.
• Transfer to a wire rack, cover with a clean tea towel (this keeps the crust nice and soft) and leave to cool. To serve, break into quarters, then break or cut each quarter in half to make 8 wedges or slices - or simply slice across. Eat very fresh.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350* F.
• Sift (or mix with electric mixer) flour, soda, salt, powder, sugar, bran in large bowl.
• In separate bowl, mix milk, lemon juice, melted marjarine, and eggs or egg substitute.
• Form well in the dry ingredients and add wet ingredients.
• Mix until dough begins to form.
• Kneed into ball either in bowl or on very lightly floured surface.
• Place dough either in greased bread pan or on greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 45- 60 minutes or until knife test comes out clean.

Steps:

• Mix rolled oats, buttermilk, and molasses in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar until combined; pour flour mixture into buttermilk mixture and stir just until moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly-floured work surface and knead 3 or 4 times until dough holds its shape.
• Cut dough in half; pat each half into a 6-inch round loaf.
• Use a sharp knife to deeply score each loaf in quarters, cutting 1-inch deep.
• Wrap each loaf in plastic wrap and allow to stand at least 12 hours at room temperature to ferment. (Loaves can be refrigerated up to 2 more days after this, if desired.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place loaves on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake loaves for 15 minutes and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue to bake until loaves are browned and make a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom, about 20 more minutes.
• Allow breads to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. To serve, slice loaves 3/4-inch thick all across the loaf, then cut slices in half.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a baking sheet. Put the flours, oats, bicarb and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. Tip the yogurt into a jug, add enough water to make it up to 400ml and mix well. Stir the treacle and honey into the yogurt mixture until they dissolve. Pour onto the dry ingredients and stir with a round-bladed knife until you have a soft, sticky dough.
• Tip onto a lightly floured surface and lightly form the dough into a round. Lift onto the baking sheet, cut a deep cross in the dough and sprinkle with oats. Bake for 30 mins or until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Soda bread should be eaten the same day, or toasted the next.
