  • Bring together to form sticky dough.
  • Turn sticky dough onto heavily floured surface.
  • Form dough into a ball, and flatten to about 1/2 inch.
  • Either leave in one piece or cut into four quarters and make four round soda breads.

Notes

Flour: You can use all purpose flour, but it will be heavier than traditional soda bread. If you can, choose a soft winter wheat like White Lily.
