Cheddar Cheese & Garlic Soda Bread

In my humble opinion, one of the best breads is devoid of yeast. It’s the good and honest Irish favourite of soda bread. So, as ever, I started to think about what I could do differently with this popular bread. I came up with the idea for doing a garlic bread version and then, with a flash of inspiration and a need to use up some cheese I had from a previous recipe, I decided to make it this cheese bread with garlic.

Steps
- 1
Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Grease a baking tray.
- 2
Sift the flours, bicarbonate of soda, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and pour the buttermilk into the centre. Use a large spoon to mix the flour mixture into the buttermilk so that it forms the dough. Remove from the bowl and just give it a quick knead so that it forms a nice smooth dough.
- 3
Flatten it out into a circle of about a diametre of 35cm. Using a very flexible spatula or knife spread the garlic butter over the dough but not to the edges, leave about 3cm free.
- 4
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the buttered area. Fold the circle over itself so that you have a semi circle and then seal down the edges. Rework the dough back into a circle, this time about 18cm in diametre with a bit of a dome to it. Slash a cross in the top of it with a sharp knife and then transfer to the greased baking tray.
- 5
Bake in the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes. When it comes out, if you tap the bottom it should sound hollow. If it doesn’t just give it 3 to 5 minutes more. Allow to cool on a wire rack, however it can be eaten warm (just watch that oozing butter!)
- 6
Probably best to be eaten within 24 hours. Would easily work as a side to things like spag bol.
