Wholemeal Soda Bread

So quick and simple. Having read the reviews, I also added a splash of lemon juice to the liquid and was careful only to press the mixture together, rather than full - on kneading. The bread is absolutely delicious - half disappeared in one sitting. I shall definitely be making it again soon!

Amazing bread and so simple. Doubt I’ll make anything else now as this is super quick, slices beautifully, looks rustic and wholesome and most importantly tastes delicious.

Super happy with this loaf… wish I could upload an image because I feel I smashed it! Definitely worth keeping the mix underworked, sticky and rustic to get a nice texture to the loaf!

Wow. Serioysly good. No strong taste of soda and is lovely and light. LOVE IT

Soda bread is so easy there is no need for bread makers or mixers, just add all the dry ingredients, mix and then add the milk, mix with your hands and gently shape into the circular shape, make a deep croos in it thus allowing it to cook evenly. Stick in the oven. 30 minutes later out, cool a bit, slice and butter it and enjoy

I have made soda break lots of times but this was my first time using soya milk (grandson is severely allergic to all dairy products) used the recipe above except swapped the milk. It was perfect, I did add a squeeze of lemon juice in the milk as I always do, as a child we always had buttermilk so it's from there! I have always wrapped soda bread in a teatowel if keeping it more than a day, seems to keep it nicer than breadbins or airtight containers.

This was such a simple recipe I let my 6 year old make it with the dough hook on the mixer. So easy and such a lovely gluten-free bread. We will make it again and again!

Just bought Kenwood food mixer. First time used K beater and perhaps too much speed and the mix solidified I effectively poured it into a round cylinder tin ready for baking. My second batch I used the dough hook and did not let it solidify. I then put it in a bread tin after shaping it. The results: my first solidified mix truly was the best bread but I left it in the oven for five minutes longer as the advice was 35 to 40 minutes. I rate this five stars because my circular first batch when toasted was the best soda bread I have ever had. Also when slicing, it was intensely satisfying to see consistency. I am very new to baking I have made five lots of biscotti using my new Kenwood chef this is my first attempt at baking bread using Kenwood chef and from ground zero ingredients. I think it is brilliant that dovesfarm delivers a brilliant online service is an app available?

I tried this recipe today, the first time I have ever made bread, and the recipe is so easy, I had some for dinner with cheese and some onion chutney. It is a fantastic bread, thank you for this brilliant recipe. :-D

Just made this - first every attempt at making bread, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but recipe was straightforward and worked well. Only minor thing is it's a little salty, so next time I'd at least half the amount of salt (or maybe use none at all) - but given I rarely ever use salt for anything, it's a taste thing.

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!
