Perfect Vegan Soda Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 250 g plain white flour
• 150 g wholemeal flour
• 50 g oats (plus extra to scatter on top)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda, not baking powder)
• 300 ml neutral tasting dairy free milk (Alpro Unsweetened Oat Milk is my favourite)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice, or white wine vinegar)

If you really don't like the brown-white mix, this works well with 350g white, 50g brown, 50g oats

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F. Lightly Dust a baking tray with flour.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly. 
3. Add the oat milk and vinegar, and stir to combine.
4. Keep stirring until the ingredients come together as a dough, then squidge together to form a ball.
5. Place the ball of dough on your baking tray and cut a deep cross in the centre. This is really important as it helps the centre of the bread to cook properly – so cut nice and deep, almost to the bottom.
6. If you wish, you can dust the loaf with a little flour and a sprinkle of oats, then place the bread in your preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7. That's it, take it out, cool it on a rack. Enjoy
