No Yeast No Oven Bread (Irish Farls)
Fluffy and soft bread with a golden crust on the outside. This recipe is easy to make with flour, baking soda, buttermilk and salt. Baked in a pan over the stove and is ready in few minutes!
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Sauté pan with lid
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk*
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl add the flour, salt and baking soda. Using your hands mix the ingredients well. Add the buttermilk and bring the ingredients together. Mix until it is sticky but there should be not dry pockets of flour.
- In a small sauté pan, add a little olive oil and rub a little oil on your hands to clean the excess dough on your hands. Form the dough into a rough ball and transfer to the pan. Flatten it with your hands and roughly cut into four pieces.
- Place on the stove, cover and cook for 3-4 mins on medium heat. When you open the lid the bread should have puffed up and once you flip the bread, it should be golden and crusty. Cook for 2-3 mins covered on the other side.
- You will know it is cooked when you knock the bread it should make a hollow sound. Remove from the pan and let it cool a little before slicing and serving.
- Serve with butter, honey and salt.
Notes
- Buttermilk - I make my buttermilk at home by mixing 1 cup whole milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice/apple cider vinegar. You can use store bought as well. I have made this recipe using 3/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup yogurt which works perfectly. Essentially you need the acid from buttermilk/lemon/apple cider/yogurt that helps it rise. Hence you cannot use regular milk and expect the same results.
