Need bread and need it fast? Knocking together a soda bread is faster than going to the shops! This one doesn’t even have buttermilk so really can be made with everything you have in the house. It couldn’t be easier. This is a basic 100% wholemeal but you can add nuts, seeds, dried fruits or cheese to make it your own or use up any bits and bobs you have leftover. It’s amazing warm with a bowl of soup.
