Soda Bread with Parsley

Ingredients

• 30 g parsley (1 bundle)
• 300 g spelt flour type 630
• 100 g spelt whole wheat flour
• 10 g baking powder (1 tbsp)
• 5 g sodium bicarbonate (1 tsp)
• Salt
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 egg
• 30 g butter (liquid)
• 320 ml buttermilk (approx.)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash, dry and finely chop the parsley. Sift the flours into a bowl and mix with baking powder, sodium bicarbonate, 1 tsp salt and honey. Whisk the egg with butter and buttermilk. Add this mixture to the flour and stir with a fork until everything forms a not-too-wet dough. Fold in the parsley and add more flour or buttermilk if needed.

2. 2.

   Shape the dough into a round loaf, make cross cuts on top, and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the loaf in a preheated oven at 200 °C (fan 180 °C; gas: level 4) for 10 minutes.

3. 3.

   Reduce the temperature to 190 °C (fan 170 °C; gas: levels 2–3) and bake the bread another 25–30 minutes. Then remove the bread (do a tap test!) and cool it on a wire rack.
