IRISH SODA BREAD Brown and white soda bread are specialties throughout Ireland. White: 1 lb. plain flour 1/2 pt. sour milk 1/2 tsp. bicarbonate of soda 1/2 tsp. salt Sieve all the dry ingredients together and make a well in the centre. Add enough milk to make a thick dough. Mix well with a wooden spoon, bringing in the flour from the sides to the centre. Add more milk if the mixture seems too stiff. Lift the mixture onto a lightly floured board and knead light- ly. Flatten the dough into a circle. Put on a baking sheet, scoring the top with floured knife in the form of a cross. Bake in a moderate to hot oven (205 degreesC, Regulo 5) for about 40 minutes. Brown: 10 oz. whole meal flour 6 oz. white flour 1/2 pt. sour milk 3/4 tsp. bread soda 1/2 tsp. salt Make as for white soda bread but do not sieve whole meal flour.
