Olive, Sun Dried Tomato, Cheese and Onion Soda Bread

This was based on a recipe in August's Cook Vegetarian magazine.



For one large loaf you need:
450g plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
300ml plain runny yogurt
3 tbsp water
75g mature cheddar, grated
75g veggie gruyere, grated
75g mixed, stoned olives, chopped roughly
6 sun dried toms in oil, roughly chopped
freshly ground pepper
1 large onion, finely diced
1 tbsp olive oil

Begin by frying the onion in the oil for 10 mins till softened. Meanwhile mix the flour, bicarb, cheeses, olives, tomatoes and pepper together. Add the onions once cooked. Then mix to a dough with the yogurt and water. Shape into a round and place on a baking sheet. Cut a deep cross in to the top. Bake in a hot (200 degree) oven for 20 mins. If the inside is not cooking fast enough, cut through the slash to break the loaf into four quarters to help speed up the cooking process. It's done when golden brown all over and sounds hollow when tapped. Leave to cool slightly then scoff. It's fab on it's own or else serve with soup or salad.
