Precautions:
1. Soda bread is a kind of traditional bread in Ireland. It is different from the general bread made with yeast. It uses soda powder and baking powder to achieve a fluffy effect. Therefore, it does not require a long fermentation process and is quick to make, which is a kind of simple bread. Of course, the taste is also very different from traditional bread. Its shell is crispy and the inside is soft, it has a special flavor.
2. Simple bread is different from ordinary bread in that it does not form a dense network structure through the protein of the flour, so as to realize the delicate bread structure. On the contrary, if too much gluten is produced, it will make the taste of bread rough. Therefore, when making this bread, low-gluten flour is used instead of high-gluten flour for making ordinary bread.
3. After pouring the yogurt, it will be very wet and soft when kneading it into the batter, but please keep kneading for about 30 seconds to make the batter generate a certain amount of gluten, but don't knead it for too long. Insufficient gluten production will result in insufficient swelling when the bread is baked, and excessive gluten production, and the bread may have a rough taste.
4. Because the batter is relatively moist, when plastic surgery, pat dry flour on your hands more, it will not be so sticky.
