This gluten free soda bread recipe transforms a loaf of traditional soda bread into a beautifully craggy gluten-free version. Adapted from a classic Irish recipe, this tender bread is absolutely delicious spread with a bit of salted butter.
Sift the oat flour, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl. Whisk the lemon juice into the milk, then make a well in the center of the dry mix and stir in the milk.
Stir the dough together, adding a little more flour if it is very wet. The dough will be soft and sticky. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Turn the dough onto a surface floured with oat flour. Knead the dough a few times to bring it together, adding a bit more flour if it is still wet. You want a malleable dough to form.
Pat and arrange the dough into a round about 1 inch thick. Make a cross in the dough if you wish.
Place the bread in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 400° and bake for another 30-40 minutes until done. The bread will be slightly browned and should sound hollow when you knock on the bottom of the loaf.
Cool the bread on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before cutting it.
