There is no proving required to make this bread as soda is substituted for yeast. I first came across this bread whilst searching for a basic soda bread recipe and I have been hooked ever since, making it regularly through the summer months to eat outside with a cup of tea in hand.<\/p>\n<p>We are into August now which for me signals the start of the foraging season so I am looking forward to collecting lots of blackberries and sloes to make everything from jams to flavored vodkas. I really do love this time of year especially with summer being at its height. I love my long walks along the shoreline with my camera hoping to get that killer sunset shot that I seem to manage to do every year. This summer a new micro brewery has opened up in the village offering all sorts of wonderful cask ales and real ciders to taste. So I am sure I will post a review of some of their wares in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>For now though sit back and enjoy a nice summer afternoon lazing in the garden with some of my delicious Irish treacle bread.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\n<div class=\"item ERName\">IRISH TREACLE BREAD<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">bread<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">irish<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">The Knobbly Plate<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT20M\">20 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT40M\">40 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT1H\">1 hour<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 Persons<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">500 g or 1lb plain flour (sieved)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 Tbsp treacle also known as molasses in america .<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 pt butter milk or cows milk (approx)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tsp cream of tarter<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tsp bread soda<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Pre-heat oven to 200c\/400f.ligth dust a flat baking sheet with flour.
