How to make Irish soda bread with Catherine Fulvio

Mix cream flour and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl.

Add salt and optional muscovado sugar to the bowl.

Use hands to aerate and mix the dry ingredients together.

Make a well in the center of the mixture.

Pour in buttermilk and Guinness into the well.

Mix the ingredients until combined; the mixture should not look glamorous.

Transfer the mixture into a lined loaf tin.

Draw a line down the center of the loaf for even baking.

Sprinkle oatmeal on top of the mixture.

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.

Remove the soda bread from the oven and let it cool to get a crispy outside.
