About this recipe:
This easy soda bread recipe is great for rye flour which can sometimes be tricky to handle in yeasted doughs.
Equipment:
1kg/2lb loaf tin, 2 x mixing bowls and measuring jug
Ingredients:
500g Doves Farm Organic Wholemeal Rye Flour
2 tsp Doves Farm Bicarbonate of Soda
¼ tsp Doves Farm Vitamin C (or 1 tbsp lemon juice)
pinch of salt
50ml boiling water
150ml cold water
250ml natural yoghurt
1 tbsp oil
oil, for tin
Method:
200°C, Fan 180°C, 400°F, Gas 6
- Pre-heat the oven.
- Rub some oil around the inside of a 1kg/2lb loaf tin or insert a baking liner.
- Put the flour, bicarbonate of soda, Vitamin C, if used, and salt into a bowl, stir to combine and sieve into a mixing bowl.
- Measure the boiling water into a jug and add the cold water and lemon juice, if used.
- Add the yoghurt and stir to combine.
- Pour this into the mixing bowl and stir everything together to make a soft, sticky dough mass.
- Sprinkle the oil over the dough mass and using a spatula turn the mixture a couple of times in the bowl.
- Tip the dough into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
- Brush some oil over a piece of aluminium foil. With the oiled side down, cover the tin creating a dome so the bread can rise during cooking.
- Bake for 55 minutes, carefully remove the aluminium foil and bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Turn the loaf out of the tin, tap the base and if it sounds hollow the bread is cooked.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Cool completely before slicing.

Wonderful recipe (no extra liquid needed in my case) and I was pleased to see my loaf looked at least as good as the photo which is very unusual for me! :) Quick and easy and the result is delicious.

Sorry - I forgot to include that there does need to be more fluid added as the dough isn’t wet enough to combine successfully. I also would have given this recipe 4 stars not 3

Have always had a slight intolerance to whole meal bread which has recently increased - unpleasant aftereffects and decided to try rye bread. After purchasing the products - easily available locally. The recipe was easy to follow and the results were good. The bread was lighter in weight than a commercially made rye bread , had a good consistency and in all was really nice . Best of all no indigestion , feeling like I’d eaten a housebrick later on ,grumbling stomach and accompanying other side effect. I’ll be another one this week and will try substituting 10% of the rye flour with strong white bread flour to see if it makes the soda bread even lighter still and whether there are any side effects if I do this.

I had only 400g of rye flour left in the bag, so I had to scale everything down by 20%. But the end result was wonderful, really tasty and not as heavy as my previous efforts with rye and yeast. I just wish I could get this flour at my local supermarket. I have to drive to the other side of town to a Tesco to find it.

The recipe calls for far too little water, insufficient to make a dough. I added considerably more, sprinkled sunflower seeds on top and baked it. It looked fabulous, much more risen than in your photo.....but the loaf welds itself to the parchment paper liner. We'll end up cutting all the crust off. It's the first (and last) time I shall ever bake bread in a liner. Better to just grease a tin! So your recipe needs a bit of adjusting.
