Vegan Irish Soda Bread

For a dense and hearty bread to enjoy by the slice or with a soup try this Vegan Irish Soda Bread.

This recipe is from the Thug Kitchen:

1-1/2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk ( I used Homemade Oat Milk)

1 tsp. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.

2 cups oat flour ( just grind up whole oats in a food processor)

2 cups whole wheat flour.

2 tsps baking soda.

1/2 tsp salt

2 tb olive oil

Preheat oven to 400'

Mix together the milk and vinegar and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda and salt. 

Pour in the milk mixture and oil.

Stir until you've got a dough ball going, adding milk or flour if needed.

Form the dough into a loafish shape and put it in a greased or parchment lined loaf pan.

Bake for 45 minutes, until crust looks golden.

Take it out and let it cool.

Ready to slice.

THIS IS A VERY HEAVY DENSE BREAD.

For a great topping, why not homemade jam.

For a quick delicious jam, try this Raspberry Chia Jam from Blue Zones:

1-1/2 cups Organic Raspberries or Blackberries

2 tbs honey

2 tbs Chia seeds

In a small sauce pan, cook down the berries on medium heat until they break down. About 5 minutes, remove from heat and mash the berries. Add the honey, stir in the chia seeds. Let set for about 5 minutes to thicken.  Transfer to a glass jar and refrigerate.

Have a great week.

Be kind.

WASH YOUR HANDS.

Ditch the plastic bottles and Save the Environment and drink tap water.  Tap water may not be the healthiest choice, but tap water is 3500 times less expensive than bottled water.  My choice is 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt , 1 "Zinger" tea bag added to 1 gallon of distilled water.
