Leftovers White Soda Bread
Serves 6
Ingredients
Base:
500g plain white flour
1 tsp bread soda
1 tsp salt
20ml olive oil
400ml buttermilk
Additional:
150g cheddar cheese, cut into small chunks
100g leftover roast vegetables (Carrot, squash, red pepper, parsnip)
Handful of cooked Spinach (or kale if you have it)
Optional:
50g Mixed Nuts (or any nuts you have)
1 tbsp chilli powder
Method:
- Mix the plain flour, bread soda and salt in a bowl.
- Add the buttermilk and olive oil together and pour into a well in the centre of the dry mix. Use your hands to bring the mix together, but don't overmix, as the finished product will become dense.
- Add any additional ingredients at this point and mix until evenly distributed.
- Place the mix on a floured surface and roughly shape into a circle, pat down the top of the dough.
- Cut 4 small lines across the top of the dough to create 8 wedge shapes, brush the wedge sections with a little extra buttermilk and sprinkle with chilli powder and salt, leave a gap where you cut the lines
- Bake in a preheated oven at 190c for 30-35mins until the base sounds hollow to tap. Cool on a wire rack, then tear and share
