An Irish-style bread leavened with baking soda and ayran instead of yeast, then mixed and baked in a short time. Its thick, crisp crust and dense crumb make it a favorite with butter at breakfast.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the dough

10 min

Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt, then add the ayran. Knead a few times, just until a soft dough forms; do not overwork it.

2

Shape the dough

5 min

Gather the dough into a round on a floured work surface and place it on a floured baking pan. Use a sharp knife to cut a deep cross into the top.

3

Bake

35 min

Bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is golden and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Note: As this bread is unleavened, it will rise only a little; this is normal.

4

Leave to cool

15 min

Cool the loaf on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes after removing it from the oven, then slice.

Reminder

Important: Since the dough is not fermented, knead it as little as possible; overworking it will make the bread tough. Contains gluten and dairy. It is best eaten on the day it is baked; you can slice and freeze any leftovers.
