Walnut, Goat’s Cheese and Olive Soda Bread

Ingredients:

  • 80g Craggs & Co Wholegrain Spelt Flour
  • 80g self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 100ml milk
  • 1/2 tsp vinegar
  • 2 tsp za’tar seasoning blend
  • 75g hard goat’s cheese
  • 25g chopped walnuts
  • 50g black olives, halved

Makes: Serves 2 people generously or 4 people as a side
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Baking time: 20-25 minutes

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
  • Add vinegar to milk and stir well. Leave to stand.
  • Cut the goats cheese into 1cm cubes, chop walnuts into small chunks and halve the olives.
  • Put the flours, salt, za’tar and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl and stir together. Then stir in the goat’s cheese, walnuts and olives.
  • Make a dent in the centre of the flour mixture and pour all of the milk into the centre. Using your hands, mix quickly to form a dough. (Don’t worry it it’s a little sticky, try to resist adding additional flour, but if it’s a little dry carefully add more milk to form a soft dough).
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured worktop and knead for one minute, until the dough feels and looks smoother.
  • Shape dough into a round ball and place on the lined baking tray.  Flatten slightly and cut a deep cross into the centre of the dough, about two thirds deep.
  • Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

Tip: You will know it’s ready when the bread sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
