Instructions: Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly work in the egg and the milk, aiming for a soft dough consistency. Knead for no more than 10 minutes.

Form large rounds of the dough on a flat baking tray, stand for 30 minutes, and place in a preheated oven at 220C for around 40 minutes, or until the loaves are lightly browned.

Soda bread is a flattish loaf, served with meals and especially at breakfast with preserves.
