As I only said to my new Family Learning class in Weston Zoyland this morning, “You’re never out of bread with a bag of self raising flour in the cupboard...
I needed some bread in a hurry for my wife – who isn’t fond of my wholemeal rolls – so I made a quick soda bread in the frying pan, which took me all of 13 minutes.
I needed some bread in a hurry for my wife – who isn’t fond of my wholemeal rolls – so I made a quick soda bread in the frying pan, which took me all of 13 minutes.
100g s/raising flour
Large pinch of salt
65g water
Mixed into a soft, squishy dough – knead it briefly – pressed it out into a disc about 1.5-2cm thick and popped it into a frying pan on a medium heat. This took me about 3 minutes from first having the idea.
Baked it for 5 minutes each side and wrapped it in a tea-towel whilst I made her an omelette.
The result was a large soft, warm bap – which went down very well!
No pics, I’m afraid, since it disappeared very quickly.
Total cost - less than 4p for the ingredients.
Made a version of this several times over the past week.
First I trebled the ingredients - and managed to get 3 in my 30cm cast-iron frying pan. One for immediate use and 2 for the freezer.
Then I made one using Dove's wholemeal bread flour and a teaspoon of baking powder. To this I added a heaped dessertspoon of chopped tomatoes with a good glug of oil from the jar. I had intended to include half a teaspoon of Marigold (instead of salt) but I forgot. However, it didn't need it - the bread was so tasty that I was munching on it whilst waiting for my leftover curry to heat up.
And today I thought I'd make some sizzlers using this method. I used the above recipe and divided the dough into two. I rolled them both into circles, placed a strip of fried mushrooms over the middle and covered them with a little grated vegan cheese and some yeast flakes. folded them over and placed them in the warm frying pan.
After adjusting the heat I cooked them for 4-5 minutes each side. And this time I have got some pics!
They were very tasty, although I could have done with more mushrooms!

I just made that - it was great, although I used a bit too much salt. I think a small pinch would do...

ReplyDeleteSalt's a bit difficult, since it's a personal thing.
I nearly said 8th of a teaspoon of salt, but that becomes a little unwieldy.
Still, you'll know next time!
