Lean Soda Bread

We are one of those people who can hardly resist the aroma of freshly baked homemade bread.

This is an easy and quick to make soda bread recipe. We only need a few products for it.

The end result is a crispy crust on the outside and soft on the inside. We follow the tradition that the cake should be round in shape, which symbolizes the endless cycle of life.

If you decide to prepare it for one of the brightest Christian holidays – Christmas Eve, do not forget to put a coin for prosperity.

Ingredients

Servings

700 g plain flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
2 tsp honey
500 ml sparkling water
100 g mixed raw seeds (poppy, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

Sift the flour and place it in a bowl, along with the baking soda and salt. Add the seeds, honey and sparkling water. Be careful, honey should be liquid, not candied. Knead a soft dough and then knead it for another 5 minutes. If necessary, add more flour. The dough should not stick to your hands.

Shape it into a ball shape. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
Put it in a cast iron pan with a diameter of 25 cm (or a tray with a non-stick coating) on baking paper. Sprinkle with flour and with a kitchen knife make a cross, with a depth of at least 1 cm. Bake in a preheated oven at 220 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for another 45 minutes.
