Sundried Tomato White Bread



Makes 1 loaf

Let your children know the history of soda bread making and that they should be very proud of their culture. There is a great science lesson in this – the bread soda reaction with sour milk or buttermilk creating exciting volcanoes!

Ingredients List:

450g plain white flour
Pinch of salt
1 level tsp Bread Soda (Baking Soda)
1 tbsp oil (a non scented oil i.e. no olive oil)
420ml sour milk or buttermilk
1 tbsp tomato paste
6 sundried tomatoes (If using sundried tomatoes in oil, omit oil from recipe and do not soak in water)

How to Do:

  • Preheat the oven to 210ºC / Gas 6.
  • Cut the sundried tomatoes into small pieces and leave to soak in warm water for approx 10 minutes.
  • Sieve the flour, salt and bread soda into a bowl.
  • Incorporate air into the dry ingredients by lifting it up with your fingertips.
  • Drain the water from the sundried tomatoes and add them to the bowl, mixing thoroughly.
  • Whisk the tomato paste into the buttermilk.
  • Add the oil and most of the tomato / buttermilk and mix to form a dough. Do not over-mix or the bread will be tough and heavy.
  • Flour a baking tray and place the dough on it.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for approx 35 – 45 minutes until well risen and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the base.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
