From The Great British Bake Off
Studded with Stilton, sultanas and walnuts, this soda bread is great simply slathered with butter, or as part of a deli-style lunch.

Method


  1. For the flavourings, crumble the Stilton into a bowl and add the walnuts. Stir in the sultanas and set aside.

  2. For the soda bread, preheat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  3. Tip the flours, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl. Add the flavourings.

  4. Pour in the buttermilk and mix to a soft dough. Tip out onto a floured surface and gather into a ball. Cut deep slits in the loaf to mark out quarters and dust with flour.

  5. Place the bread on the baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through. The loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the base.

  6. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
