So above is a link to the brown soda bread recipe I used, with a few tweaks:
- Instead of the egg I used 1 flax egg, which is 20g ground flaxseeds + 60-80g hot water and left to stand for a bit to cool)
- Instead of treacle (dark or light) I used 4 dates (soaked in a bit of boiling water and then mashed) and a tablespoon of organic blackstrap molasses (might do two tbs next time)
- Rather than a handful of pumpkin seeds I used 40g mixed seeds
I would say don't try to cram too much flour or oats into the yoghurt pot because that was my mistake the first time round. This time I just poured it in lightly and it came out much better. I also left it in the oven for a full hour after (checking it every 10 minutes from about 40 mins), but that will depend on your oven (if you're trying it). I was trying to emulate the Sasko Brown Bread Dumpy Loaf I loved in South Africa, and it is a pretty good alternative, but I still miss the original.
