Recipe For Soda Bread ?
Am looking for a recipe for Soda Bread and I would prefer to use Whole Wheat flour, so I dont know if that changes the measurments of the igredients or not. Am I right in assuming you use Soda instead of yeast ? Any info you can provide will be most appeciated. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you wish. Chris Mc 3 |

OBTW...( Recipe For Soda Bread ? )
Thanks or all the great recipe's that have been e-mailed to me :-) Question # 1 : I am not really on a 'No Carb' diet (Atkins-Zone etc) but I am trying to cut back drastically on my 'Processed, Bleached' flours. If I want to cook somthing that is 'Whole Wheat', why must I use White (regular) flour, or DO I ? Can I use ALL whole wheat ? Question # 2 : I dont even have a full size oven at my current place, just a Toaster Oven, but so far its been no problem for anything I have wanted to cook. Should I cut the ingredients by 1 / 2 or just make 2 batches ? I guess my main question would be if the ingredients will be okay just sitting there for 45 minutes - 1 hour while the other 1 / 2 is cooking or will it turn 'Yucky' (un-usable) ? Question # 3 : Besides Soda Bread, what I am interested in most is 'Quick' (and Healthy) cooking braeds...I.E. 100 % Whole Wheat Flat-Breads, Muffins etc. Any other suggestions ? In short...Even after a big, thick, juicy steak and veggies, I just do NOT feel complete unless I have a tasty slice of bread, and I would like to do t as healthy as possible. From what I understand, 100 % whole wheat would qualify as your 'Good Carbs'. (?) Thanks again. Chris Mc 3 |

Thanks ! (was - Recipe For Soda Bread ?)
Thanks for all the response, especially those who took time to e-mail me personally, I do appreciate it. Havnt had time to experiment with any of the recipes yet, but planning on it tomorrow. Wish me luck, Chris Mc 3 PS : If any one can help me out with this question...Why do all (most ?) of the recipes for 'Whole Wheat' bread call for at least some regular (or All Purpose) flour...I.E...3 cups whole wheat, 1 cup all purpose flour...? Some one wrote and said no, you dont absolutely have to, just substitute the 1 cup regular (or All Purpose) flour for whole wheat, but it may not turn out as good. I guess understanding why the recipe calls for 'White' flour in a 'Whole Wheat' recipe in the first place might better help me decide whether to leave it in or out. (?) |

Whole wheat flour is 'heavier' than white flour, and it rises slower. If you were making yeast bread, you could use all whole wheat flour, but a soda bread needs to rise faster than a yeast bread. You could try making a loaf of soda bread using just whole wheat flour, but it will be even denser than the standard (3C whole wheat, 1C white) soda bread. jenn -- Jenn Ridley |
