Wild Cider Soda Bread
Dedicated forager and HF contributor Dave Winnard, from the popular foraging site, Discover the Wild, shares his recipe for Wild Cider Soda Bread which follows the traditional soda bread recipe but uses cider for the liquid part instead of the buttermilk and has chunks of Wild Crab Apple in it to and you can always add bits of cheese for good measure.

INGREDIENTS
450g plain flour 375ml Cider 1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda Crab apples, roughly chopped into chunks 1 tsp salt
METHOD
1 Preheat the oven to 200°C .
2 Flour a baking tray and put it to one side.
3 Sieve the flour, bread soda and salt into a bowl.
4 Add the cider and mix well until the flour and cider are thoroughly combined into a dough then add the apple chunks.
5 Empty out the dough onto a floured surface and form into a smooth, round shape.
6 Place the dough on the floured baking tray and cut two lines, one horizontally and one vertically, into the bread.
7 Place in the oven for 35 minutes.
8 After the allotted time, remove the bread, turn it upside down and return to the oven for a further 4 minutes.
9 When you take the bread out of the oven again, tap the base: if you hear a hollow sound your bread is cooked.
