Indian Cooking Recipe : Irish Soda Bread Ingredients : 1 kg flour 4 tbsp sugar 1 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 150 g butter, softened 150 ml curd 150 ml milk 1 egg Method : Preheat the oven to 190ºC and lightly grease a large baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and 125 g butter. Whisk the curd and milk together and stir in 250 ml of this mixture into the bowl of flour along with the egg. Knead to a smooth dough, turn out into a lightly floured surface and knead slightly to obtain a soft dough. Shape into a round and place on the prepared baking sheet and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes. Melt the remaining butter and in a small bowl combine with the remaining curd. Brush the loaf with this mixture and using a sharp knife cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. You can baste the loaf with the butter mixture as it bakes. Take it along as an accompaniment for a soup or cut into slices to make sandwiches.
