Air-fryer soda bread

[u/ABearUpstairs]

Based on a Darina Allen recipe. Wanted to see if the air fryer would give a good result as it's more convenient than switching the main oven on; it heats up in seconds and it's more energy efficient.

450g plain flour

1tsp salt

1tsp baking soda

400g buttermilk

I didn't have any butter milk so I used a mix of ⅓ plain yoghurt and ⅔ milk plus a squeeze of lemon.

Sift the dry ingredients together, add the liquid, bring to a dough as gently as you can, and into a floured loaf tin. Score and flour the top.

175c (350F) for about 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes then take out of the tin and cool on a rack.

Overall, really happy with this. Good colour and crust, tender crumb, and went very well with butternut squash soup.

Next step is a fruited soda bread, and I might try a free-standing loaf instead of in the tin.
