Check out how to, and how we, made Soda Bread for the first time

Good Afternoon, evening, or morning Steemit folks.

There's all sorts of credit that needs to be given out for this post before I get started. Past that I promise not to drag my feet too much! First: @nateonsteemit replied here when I asked about what Podcasts people are listening to. He pointed me towards the Survival Podcast, the guy on there is always talking about Soda bread. Then I listened to another Podcast recommended me by @preparedwombat called Hardcore History... The first one I listened to was regarding the attempted holocaust of the gaelic by Ceasar of Rome. Great Grandma Edith was Irish.
My wonderful assistant, MiniElf - our first time baking together! And of course my beautiful wife @elfmyselfandi for all of this.

There's a lady from the church who made buns that taste just like Soda Bread, and I always wondered how she did that. I figured it out.

First Ingredient! Proud dad and his baby girl:

Second ingredient, throw down:

400 grams of flour

1 teaspoon of baking Soda

1 teaspoon of salt

Make sure you mix your flour, salt, and baking soda up nicely.

Okay, so then measure out 300 ml of Buttermilk

and pour it into the flour mixture.

Roll it into a big ball so that all of the mixture becomes one consistency. If it's dry, add more milk. If it's too wet... jeeze I dunno man, make gravy..

So then, once it's one ball, cut it in half and roll em out into two balls. Score the balls with two deep cuts. Set the Oven to 220ͦͦC, or 420 ͦ F and bake em for 25 minutes. sodabread14.jpg

Then, and I don't know why... pull it out, cover loose with tin foil, and stick it back in for ten. Then pull it out and feel so proud of yourself for making this super easy yummy bread.

I've been making bread each morning for the past few mornings. This was my favorite time. It was super nice to do with miniElf, and tell her about what and why I was doing things. Except for the baking soda, which was an important part. I apologized to her, and explained that dad isn't perfect and will screw up sometimes. That we all do, and I'll always love her anyway.

The bread is so fantastic. I understand why that podcast guy rants about it. Will be keeping this one in the filing system.

As always, if you've got questions, comments, suggestions or whatever, comment below. That's why I'm here.
