Wow, can't wait to try the Soda bread recipe. I have been baking bread for ages now - never buy anymore, tastes so much nicer than store bought and so much healthier too. Anyone with recipes to share???

I was interested in the one last night as it was the first I have seen with all white flour.

I have just found another use for my oval slow cooker - I had to share this. I don't have a warm place to put bread to rise, so I popped the dough into a greased bowl, put the bowl into the crock of the slow cooker, added a little water to the crock & set the crock on low, covered with a tea towel. Within 30-45 mins the dough had risen beautifully! I then shaped the rolls (what the dough was intended for) popped them on the baking sheet and this is now sitting atop the slow cooker covered in a tea towel, and they are rising beautifully again.

Didn't see all the program, but my Irish Mother-in-law used to make the soda bread, and lay it on top of her rich beef stew instrad of pastry. So when served you would mop up all that yum gravy with the soda bread. Between that and the pub, then having another dinner at 1am after being at the pub, no wonder I got so fat living there!

I only use plain white flour in my soda bread and its fine also don't use buttermilk as generally don't have any in the house when I need to make some. Love soda bread and its a great standby when a loaf in the breadmaker is going to take more time than I have.
