How to Make Your Own Irish Soda Bread

Preheat the oven to 180°C on fan setting.

Make buttermilk by mixing 1 cup of milk with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.

In a bowl, combine 500 g of spelt flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.

Stir the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

Add a handful of oats to the mixture for texture.

Place the dough onto greaseproof paper, sprinkle some flour on top, and shape it as desired.

Bake in the oven at 180°C for 45 minutes.

Check if the bread is done by tapping it; it should sound hollow.
