a warm tasty snack

With the days getting colder theres nothing better than something warm to eat, especially if that something is freshly baked bread! I have been meaning to attempt making some bread for ages so when my brother and I were stuck on ideas for lunch I reached for Marry Berry Cooks the Perfect and settled for the soda bread recipe.

You will need:

• 20g butter
• 225g plain white flour
• 225g plain wholemeal flour
• 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 1tsp salt
• 400ml buttermilk

You basically throw all the ingredients together and stick it in the oven, 40 mins or so later you have some delicious bread ready to serve up with whatever else takes your fancy.

We kept it simple with butter that melted into the warm bread....is there really anything better? A few crisps and some fresh fruit.
