Made this bread today and it is delicious. I accidentally added Xanthan gum and the texture is really light and easy to slice. Also used half buttermilk. Thank you for this great recipe.

Spelt Wholemeal Soda Bread is delicious! I add 2tbsp.of white flour to mixture to try & make loaf less dense, crumbly. I've read grating a little apple to recipe helps the loaf to be less crumbly when cut,would the apple be tasted? Any advice welcome as I only eat Soda Bread (I prefer it)just always have problems with it crumbling making it difficult to cut&butter,still superior to 'normal bread'. Odelle.

A delicious recipe, the loaf came out of the oven with a lovely crisp, crunchy crust whilst being soft and moist inside. Lovely with butter straight from the oven. I find that slicing the loaf as soon as it has cooled makes it hold together better and easier to use. As a coeliac I haven't had soda bread since holidays in Ireland as a child so thank you for this recipe!

This soda bread should be able to be made with plain flour ie not necessarily strong flour. Also traditional soda bread has a cross in the centre. Otherwise looks delicious.
