This easy-to-make soda bread is AMAZING! Simply a quick mixture of all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and low-fat buttermilk kneaded together, then you add in crumbled feta cheese and grated raw beets. Something about the combination of the grated beets and the buttermilk makes this soda bread crispy on the outside but light and moist on the inside. The recipe suggests garnishing the bake soda bread with fresh rosemary, but I went ahead and added some chopped rosemary right into the dough itself. This homemade soda bread will ‘wow’ your dinner guests and is a great base recipe for quick-and-easy, make-at-home bread. Feel free to experiment (as I plan to!) with the base ingredients mixed with whatever flavorings, herbs and nuts you are craving.

‘Beetroot & Feta Soda Bread’
Ingredients:
- Recipe Courtesy of Delicious Magazine*
- (The following ingredients list I converted from metric measurements*)
- 3 small beets, peeled and coarsely grated
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup (200g) crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh rosemary sprigs to decorate
Directions:

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the grated beetroot into a clean piece of muslin or a clean J-cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Put the flour, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Pour in the buttermilk and start to bring the ingredients together using a wooden spoon. When it has almost come together as a dough, tip it out onto a clean surface and start to knead in the grated beetroot and crumbled feta. Once combined, shape the dough into a ball and flatten slightly.
- Dust a baking sheet with flour. Transfer the loaf the baking sheet, then stud the outside with rosemary sprigs. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Allow the loaf to cool before slicing.
