Slow cooker soda bread with spring herbs is a recipe adapted from a recipe in page 52 of April 2023 edition of Tesco’s magazine.
Procedure
- Line the sides and base of a slow cooker pot with baking parchment.
- Combine the flours in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the salt, sugar, soda, and herbs.
- Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the buttermilk and milk.
- Mix to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface.
- Knead briefly, then shape into a round shape to fit the slow cooker pot.
- Transfer to the slow cooker pot. Using a sharp, floured knife, score a cross in the top.
- Cover the pot with a towel, then cover with the lid.
- Cook on high for 2 hours. Check that the bread is soft but set at top and crusty on the bottom and sides. If not, cook for 10 more minutes and check.
- Remove the bread from the slow cooker and let it cool for 20 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
