One of the best things in life is the smell of freshly baked bread! And I was lucky enough to have that this weekend! I am currently at university in Loughborough but I came home for the weekend so I could have some good wholesome food, as Ive missed it!
So my dad baked this wonderful Soda bread loaf! It tasted lovely as it had fruit and nut bits in it, so tasted good with cheese and ham or with jam and butter!

The recipe: (makes one large loaf! - around 10 slices)
-250g Wholemeal flour
-250g Plain white flour
-25g butter
-150g Dorset Fruit and nut cereal (or anything similar)
-25g Golden caster sugar
-1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
-2 x 280ml carton of buttermilk
To make:
-Preheat oven to 190c/ Gas 5
-Put the flours in to a large bowl and rub in the butter
-Stir in the Fruit and nut cereal, sugar and bicarb. Then make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk and quickly bring it together to form a dough- the dough will be very soft and sticky
-Tip on to a very floured surface and make it in to a round shape - around 20cm in diameter!
-Put it on to a greased baking sheet and slice a deep cross in the top and bake for about 35-40 minutes until dark brown, and sounds hollow when tapped on the base.
-Leave to cool on a wire rack with a tea towel on top and then enjoy!
Here is the inside of the bread- you can see the bits of nut and fruit inside. It was so tasty with a simple bit of butter!
