Irish Soda Bread (With Variant For Spotted Do Recipe

...brought to you by Recipes EU





Irish Soda Bread (With Variant For Spotted Do
6 cup All purpose flour
2 tsp Baking soda
2 tsp Baking powder
3 tbsp Cornstarch
2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt

2 1/2 C BUTTERMILK


ADD FOR "SPOTTED DOG

1/2 cup Raisins or sultanas


*** may substitute 2 1/2 cup water and 10 tablespoons buttermilk
powder.

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.

Add all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix very well. (If
making Spotted Dog variant, then add raisins.) Pour all of the
buttermilk into the bowl at once and stir, using a wooden spoon, just
until a soft dough is formed. Do not try to make it smooth at this
point. Pour the contents of the bowl out onto a plastic counter and
knead for a minute or so until everything comes together. You may
need to add a bit more flour depending on humidity. The dough should
be smooth, not sticky.

Divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a round loaf,
pressing the top down a bit to just barely flatten it. Place the
loaves on a large ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle some additional
flour on the top of each loaf and, using a sharp paring knife, make
the sign of the Cross in slashes on the top of each.

Allow the loaves to rest for 10 minutes and then bake on the middle
rack of the oven for 40 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown
and done to taste.

Cool on racks.

Smith. Entered by Dale & Gail Shipp, Columbia Md. Personal comment: a
close Irish friend gives her stamp of approval on this as being an
authentic Irish soda bread. She supplied the "Spotted Dog" variant.

A few tips on healthy eating

If you want to drop a dress size and better your general shape, without doubt you ought to decide on a meticulously prepared healthy-minded dietary regime. Theoretically, this must take in 5 portions of grains, fruit and vegetables a day and also incorporate a sensible mixture of protein, carbs and fats.

When deciding on a meal plan, the most important step is to try to cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.

When buying food, dieters ordinarily look at supermarket and well known products professing to be 'low fat'. To do this is usually wrong, seeing that a food item could be moderate in fat, but whilst still remaining elavated in carbohydrates.

Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Occasionally at some stage in a busy day, you imagine that you need a snack but in reality you simply want a pure cup of water or orange juice. The sensations of thirst and hunger are much the same, but one of them leads to weight gain and the alternative is healthy.

As an alternative to focusing on those food types you need to eliminate from your meal plan, concentrate on the good foods that you might want to add to your dietary regime. If one can manage to insert a few healthy grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon find that you feel full and have a substantially decreased risk of being seduced by those unhealthy afternoon nibbles.
