Someone I follow on Twitter tweeted about making these and provided a link to the original recipe. I love cinnamon swirls but hate waiting for pastry to prove, so figured I'd give them a go.
This recipe amends the original in a few small ways * Uses SI for measurements * Adjusts the sugar ratio a bit * Does the prep first
They work really well - I was a little dubious of the inclusion of egg to begin with, but it helps the bread maintain it's shape and the other flavours drown out the egg flavour.
If you want them to look really nice, you'll need to pipe the icing on - or if you're like me, just splat it on with a spoon
Also sometimes called Oopsie bread, or cloud bread, this is a grainless bread substitute
It doesn't rise much, but works well as a replacement for things you'd normally use bread rolls for, particularly as buns around a grilled chicken breast, just make sure the filling sits well with a slight egg flavour
This recipe grinds black pepper over the top, but you can sprinkle seeds instead if preferred
Soda bread can be a bit heavy and flavourless, so I figured I'd try and sweeten it up and give it a little bit of flavour. Ginger takes some of that edge back off.
You can use all Plain or all Self-raising if you don't have one or the other.
Best served hot with a thick glob of butter - even better if you make an open-face sandwich with bacon and steak on top
