Easy Yogurt Soda Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 430 degrees Fahrenheit/ 220 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add ¾ of the seeds and mix again.

Step 3

Wet ingredients: Combine yogurt, honey, and olive oil in another bowl.

Step 4

Dough: Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Add the yogurt mixture and stir to combine using a spoon.

Step 5

Shape: Sprinkle the work surface with 1 tablespoon of flour. Place the dough on it and sprinkle it with a little bit of flour. Knead gently with floured hands, only 4-5 times, to bring the dough into shape. Form a round loaf and transfer it to the baking sheet.

Step 6

Brush the top of the bread with one tablespoon of milk and sprinkle the remaining seeds on top.

Step 7

Cut a deep cross with a serrated knife.

Step 8

Bake the soda bread at a high temperature for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Reduce temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/ 200 degrees Celsius. Bake for another 20 minutes or until the soda bread is baked through.

Step 10

Check: The bottom of the bread should sound hollow. If it doesn’t, bake for another 5 minutes and check again.

Step 11

Let cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before slicing.
