Gluten Free Soda Farls Recipe
These Gluten Free Irish Soda Farls are probably THE quickest and easiest gluten free bread to make! Ready in under 30 minutes and SO tasty - serve them warm with butter and jam.
Servings: 4 farls
Equipment
Ingredients
- 250 g plain gluten free flour (I use FREEE by Dove's Farm or any supermarket blend)
- 0.25 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 heaped tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda in the US)
- 230 ml buttermilk
Instructions
- Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix together to combine. Pour in the buttermilk and use a wooden spoon to start to bring the mixture together into a dough.
- As the dough becomes claggy, use your hands to finish bringing it together into a ball of dough. It may be a little sticky but thats fine at this stage!
- Sprinkle a little gluten free flour onto the work surface and then turn the dough ball onto the flour. Use your hands to knead gently into a smooth ball, then flatten slightly. You want it about 20cm (8 inches) in diameter and around 5cm (2 inches) thick.
- Cut the dough into four wedges. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet pan on a medium heat. Add the farls to the pan - you may need to do this in batches if they don't all fit.
- Cook on a low-medium heat for 6-8 minutes, flip over gently and cook for a further 6-8 minutes until golden brown on each side and cooked through. Turn off the heat and leave in the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serving Suggestion: Serve these Irish Soda Farls while fresh. They're best warm with butter and jam, or as a side to soup or stew.
