Traditional Irish Soda Bread recipe and baked in a wood-fired oven

Combine 170 grams wholemeal self-raising flour, 170 grams plain white flour, 0.5 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 300 milliliters buttermilk in a big mixing bowl.

Mix the ingredients together by hand until a ball of dough forms.

Place some plain white flour at the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.

Transfer the dough into the dish and score the top in a cross pattern.

Preheat the wood-fired oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bake the bread in the oven for about an hour without opening the door during baking.

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool.
