Self raising flour has baking powder and salt added to it before it is packaged for sale, so that should be taken into consideration. Some people may not have self raising flour or know how to make it from all purpose flour and will get the recipe wrong.

Going to try this and your pancake mix tomorrow and see how it goes. You're a wonderful man.

If you do find the mix too wet - just add flour to dry it out.<br /><br />Best wishes, PaulPaul Youdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025826576593530708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015179386642966363.post-58471907816563144832014-07-06T14:28:17.947+01:002014-07-06T14:28:17.947+01:00hi there , yesterday i had my first attempt ever a...hi there , yesterday i had my first attempt ever at baking anything at all and tried the soda bread. The mixture though was awfully sticky, no question about being able to knead it at all, I just sort of dropped it on the baking tray by vigorous hand jerking. So presumably needs more of something but what?<br />Emi<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015179386642966363.post-28557770014579012992013-11-04T00:16:36.932+00:002013-11-04T00:16:36.932+00:00Hi Mike

I aim to have it in the oven less than 2 minutes after stirring in the liquid. Secondly, the dough should be really soft and squidgy - putting flour on the table risks drying the dough out. Took me years to work out that the more water in a bread dough, the better it'll rise, since the CO2 can push the dough out of the way and create bigger holes.<br /><br />Finally, a soda bread, by its very nature is a bit denser than a yeast-risen bread - as far as I understand it, that's the reason for the cross, so that the heat can get to the middle of the loaf better.<br /><br />HTH!

I made the mistake of using too much flour on the table, causing a coating of flour on the finished loaf. Do you have a suggestion for making the inside less dense please. It was a bit heavy. Yeast?. Oh, I added some dried mixed herbs to the mix. Very nice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376628721344652653noreply@blogger.com
