Irish Soda Bread No1

1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 1/4 cup buttermilk: to 2 1/2 c *

Preparation
 
* You will need somewhere between these two amounts of buttermilk,
depending on how much liquid your flour tends to absorb. Try to avoid
using regular milk: if you must, use baking powder instead of
bicarbonate of soda. -- Lightly grease a heavy skillet (if making
"soda farl", the flat version of soda bread) or preheat the oven to
450 F (if making "soda cake", the round, more breadlike version.)
Sift the dry ingredients together into a large bowl; make sure the
soda is evenly distributed. Make a well in the center of the dry
mixture and add about half the buttermilk. Stir until you have a
raggy dough that is very squashy but which looks more or less dry.
Add more liquid sparingly until you achieve this texture. Blend until
all the flour has achieved this consistency; then turn out
immediately onto a lightly floured board and knead ***for no more
than a minute or a minute and a half***. Overkneading makes this
bread very tough, and it s very easy to overdo it. If making soda
cake, shape the dough into a circle about 8-9 inches across and about
an inch and a half thick. Cut a cross about on the top, about half an
inch deep, and place on a floured baking sheet. Bake at 450 F for
45-50 minutes. If making soda farl, shape the dough into a circle
about 9 inches by one inch thick and cut into four wedges or "farls":
place in the preheated skillet, with cut edges about half an inch
apart. Cook slowly on the stovetop over low-to-medium heat: it should
take about 20 minutes for the farls to puff up and turn a light brown
on the pan side. Turn them and cook for another 20 minutes. -- For a
softer crust on either soda cake or soda farl, wrap in a dishtowel
after baking. -- For more information on making sodabread and its
variations, please see the file "SODABRED.TXT" included with this
zipfile.
