Gluten free soda bread with cheese and sundried tomatoes #glutenfree #sodabread #yeastfree #freefromfairyflour #wholegrain

I created this gluten free soda bread recipe many years ago. I was developing recipes for Nature’s Path at the time and used their porridge oats for the recipe. Since they no longer sell those, I’ve made this recipe with plain gluten free oats.

Some people react to gluten free oats and in Australia and New Zealand people with coeliac disease are told to avoid all oats. You can watch a vlog that I made about that below.

In the vlog I mention a course I was developing.

Well, the programme is now live so if you are newly diagnosed, struggle with the gluten free diet or find you still react to things then I highly recommend you join my programme.

In it I share everything you need to know to get up and running with the gluten free diet.

You may also find answers to why you continue to react to foods despite following a strict diet.

In addition to all that, I’m available to answer questions in a private Facebook group where you’ll get the support you need.

Anyway, back the the recipe.

If you avoid oats then replace them with an equal amount of gluten free flour.

The flavour of this gluten free soda bread is incredible but if you want to tweak it then please do. I love nothing more than seeing you using my recipes as the basis to your own.

I haven’t tried making it with dairy free cheese and butter alternative but if you were so inclined I’m sure it would work.

Instead I made it with goats dairy products.

Goats milk is much easier to digest than cows milk so if you react to cows milk you may find you can tolerate goats.

For me, if I eat cows milk products I get a flare up of my eczema, and a swelling of my knuckles. It’s not a classic allergy.

If you do have an allergy to dairy then please don’t try any dairy products at all!

Is gluten free soda bread easy to make?

It’s the easiest gluten free bread to make.

All you do is mix the ingredients together, shape the dough and bake it!

I suggest it in my online programme as a starting point to anyone new to gluten free bread making.

I also make suggestions of other simple starting points for a novice gluten free baker.

Gluten free soda bread relies on raising agents to make it rise.

If you use my gluten free self raising flour then you don’t need to add any extra raising agents.

I created the blend with double acting raising agents because so many gluten free bakes fail to rise properly.

I know what you’re thinking.

What the heck does double acting mean?

Well it means that unlike ordinary raising agents I’ve included two acids and one alkali (usually it’s one of each).

One starts working when you add liquid to the mixture and the other starts working when it’s heated.

The result? Well, a far better structure and rise than with ‘traditional’ raising agents and self raising flours.

I haven’t tested this recipe with other gluten free flour blends but if you use them you are likely to need extra raising agents.

If you’d like to try my wholegrain gluten free flour blend then click below where you’ll be taken to my shop.

Buy the Free From Fairy's wholegrain gluten-free and rice-free flour blends on her online shop and never make an inferior bake again!

Ingredients
  

  • 210 g Free From Fairy gluten free self raising flour - or 210g FFF plain flour plus 2 tsp baking powder
  • 100 g gluten free oats
  • 1 tsp psyllium husk powder (or xanthan gum)
  • 50 g butter - I used goats
  • 100 g cheese - I used goats
  • Approx 135 ml full fat milk - I used goats
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 6 pieces sundried tomato, chopped into small pieces

Instructions
 

  • Place the dry ingredients into a food processor and mix well. If you don't have a food processor you can do this by hand in a large bowl but you will need to use oat flour
  • Add the butter and cheese and whizz until evenly distributed. If you don't have a food processor then rub the butter into the flour mixture then grate the cheese and add it to the mixture
  • In a small jug or mug combine the milk and vinegar. This should make the mixture curdle...that's fine!
  • Add the milk mixture slowly to the flour mixture until it comes together into a dough. You may need slightly more or slightly less than I suggest
  • Finally add the chopped up sundried tomato and work it through the dough
  • Bring the dough into a ball on a lightly floured work surface
  • Press down a little and place onto a lined or greased baking tray
  • Finally, cut a cross shape on top of the dough about the depth of 1 cm.
  • Place the loaf into a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees C/160 degree fan oven/gas mark 4 and bake for around 40 minutes until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom
  • Eat on the same day you make it, ideally while still hot

    Hello,

    My bread turned out very moist and stodgy any ideas as to why? (I swapped the sundried tomatoes for olives)

    Thanks

      Did you follow the rest of the recipe exactly? Including the flour?

    Is it ok without the cheese and tomatoes. Also would adding some glycerin stop it from crumbling when freezing it? Thanks

    Hi Vicky, does the soda bread freeze well?

    Thanks

      Hi Alison, it’s not great…it tends to get very crumbly I’m afraid ๐Ÿ™

    This sounds delicious, cheese and tomato are such a fab combination!

      It really is so tasty! A bit too moorish though!

        I know! I have a secret love for Nutella too!!!

      I’m going to try it and add black olives too

      • Vicki Montague says

        19th September 2019 at 1:01 pm

        Oh that would be DELICIOUS!

    I’m in Australia & my husband is gluten free. I’d use Quinoa flakes instead of the rolled oats. The recipe sounds yummy!

    • Vicki Montague says

      4th June 2018 at 2:58 pm

      Oh yes! Great idea…

    • Gabby says

      16th September 2019 at 10:03 pm

      Be careful with Quinoa because it can cause intestinal upset and do more harm than good. I found that every time I ate quinoa I had severe stomach cramps and diarrhea for over a day. Then when I told my daughter the reaction I had she stopped too and started feeling better too.
      Proceed with caution…

      • Vicki Montague says

        19th September 2019 at 1:01 pm

        Ah that’s interesting Gabby. I suspect it’s the saponins in the quinoa. If you soak it for 12 hours before rising and using it I wonder if that would prevent it…
