Maklike Soda-brood (Easy Soda Bread)
Maklike Soda-brood
A quick, no‑knead South African soda bread that brings the spirit of home into the kitchen — simple ingredients, a rustic crumb, and that familiar “just mix and bake” ease every Saffa grew up with. Perfect for busy days, braai nights, or when you want fresh bread without the fuss.
Ingredients
- 4 cups wholemeal or seeded plain flour
- 1.75 (375 ml) Buttermilk
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 cup crushed nuts mix
- Rooibos tea ( to have while it is in the oven)
Method
- Pre- heat oven to 190°C.
- Mix flour, salt & baking powder in a bowl.
- Mix in crushed nuts.
- Add the buttermilk.
- Use hands to combine everything but don't over mix otherwise it will make the bread too dense.
- On a lined baking tray form the dough in a oval or disc shape.
- Cut a cross into the dough.
- Bake in over for 35 - 45 minutes until the bottom when tapped sounds hollow.
- Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before slicing
