Neill's Soda Bread Flour 1.5kg | Northern Irish Soda Bread Flour

Neill's soda bread flour, 1.5kg. A flour blended specifically for soda bread, which is not the same thing as plain flour with bicarbonate added and anyone who has tried the substitution knows it.

Soda bread relies on the reaction between bicarbonate and buttermilk rather than on yeast, so it needs a soft, low-protein flour that will not develop gluten. That is what this is blended to be, and it is why a proper soda farl comes out light rather than tough.

Add buttermilk, work it as little as you possibly can, and get it on the griddle. Over-handling is the single most common reason soda bread comes out heavy.

Product Details

• 1.5kg bag
• Blended specifically for soda bread
• Milled in Belfast by Neill's
• Use buttermilk and handle the dough as little as possible

Neill's have been milling in Belfast for well over a century, and their flour is what most Northern Irish kitchens have used for soda bread and wheaten for generations.

This is genuinely difficult to buy in Great Britain, which is exactly why we stock it. We also carry the 3kg bag.
