Parmesan soda bread

Parmesan soda bread is a delightful twist on the classic soda bread, incorporating the rich, nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese. This quick bread is perfect for those who want to create a homemade loaf without dealing with the time and complexity of yeast-based breads. Its savory taste pairs wonderfully with soups, salads, or can simply be enjoyed on its own.

Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
1 tbsp baking powder
16g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
1 tsp salt
5g
1/3 cup butter
70g
1.50 cups buttermilk
340g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, grated parmesan cheese, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3. Incorporate Butter:
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
- Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to keep the butter from warming up too much.
4. Add Buttermilk:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk.
- Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.
5. Shape the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead it gently a few times (about 5-6 folds) to bring it together more cohesively.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf, about 1.5 inches high.
6. Prepare for Baking:
- Transfer the shaped dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, score an ‘X’ or cross on the top of the dough. This helps the bread bake evenly and gives it a traditional look.
7. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out clean.
8. Cool:
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.
9. Serve:
- Enjoy your Parmesan Soda Bread warm with a pat of butter, or alongside your favorite soup or salad.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is cold and cut into small pieces before incorporating it into the flour mixture for optimal texture.

- Don't overmix the dough; a gentle mix until just combined will result in a tender crumb.

- For a crispier crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter before baking.

- Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to prevent it from becoming gummy inside.

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.

In just a few simple steps and with common ingredients, you can bake a delicious loaf of Parmesan soda bread that is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you serve it warm from the oven or toasted with a bit of butter, this bread is both versatile and satisfying.
