Healthy bread that's super quick and easy, tasty and beautifully textured - make it top of your home baking list

Easy-Peasy 5-min prep Irish Soda Bread with Oatmeal & Seeds
'... so tasty, fresh or toasted, for so little effort!' 

Irish Soda Breads are a lifesaver in busy households: there's no kneading or rising, no preservatives, salt is controlled.  This tasty loaf  takes just 5 mins to measure, mix and slide into the oven.

This simple recipe is free of butter or eggs, relying on low-fat buttermilk and baking soda for the rise.  

It's a lovely tender bread that is also very healthy.  It makes great toast, and freezes well.

This recipe is perfect for small households.
