Easy Irish Soda Bread Farls 🥓🍳   If you’ve ever been to Ireland, you’ve probably had a fry-up, complete with soda bread on the side. Soda bread is typically paired with sausage, bacon, and eggs, but why stop there? Here is a pan and airfryer version, the airfryer does make them a lot bigger.   Ingredients:  * 390g soda bread flour  * ½ pint buttermilk  * 1 tbsp rapeseed or veg oil  * Pinch of salt 

Method:  1. Sieve your soda bread flour into a large mixing bowl  2. Pour half a pint of buttermilk into a jug with 1 tbsp oil, and mix  3. Add this mixture gradually to the flour along with a pinch of salt and mix with a fork. It will slowly come together and form into a dough  4. Knead for 5 mins, Shape your dough on a floured surface into a flat circle and cut into quarters. 5. Once the dough is cut, place the floured soda bread on a frying pan (low to medium heat) for 8 minutes on each side. Be sure to flour the top of the soda bread before flipping. You can also cook these in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 160, flip and cook for another 5 minutes.  6. Once cooked, allow the soda breads to cool and serve. Personally, I love soda bread with bacon, eggs and brown sauce.  

PS Brown sauce is elite.

I’ve taken 3 months out 😬… but for a good reason. This account was set up during lockdown and it’s become something truly special thanks to all of you guys. Before I set BOL up as a lockdown hobby I was working in my job after university. Bored of lunch started but tbh nobody trains you for that. I had never worked with food or stepped in a professional kitchen, the imposter syndrome is real. So im training to be a a bit of a chef. I’m at @Ballymaloe Cookery School in Cork, being trained by the world class Rachel Allen, Rory OConnell along with so many other fantastic teachers. Don’t worry I won’t stop using my Airfryer or Slowcooker. Never!! 😂 They’re my bread and butter. 2 months down, 1 to go. Ps. New book coming soon #cork #chef #homecook #training #Ballymaloe #school #cookeryschool #farm #farming #food #change
