Hi all,

I've been making soda bread for a while but cant seem to find out how to get that nutty taste in it.

Anyone know how i can achieve this??

Thanks in advance.

Great minds think alike!

I believe that the Irish Chef,Paul Rakin,(whose soda bread we buy in Sainsburys) uses a dark rye flour,which gives a dark nutty soda bread.
How easy this flour is to obtain I don't know.

PS:~
It seems he also uses Buttermilk in his recipe.

And don't forget seseme seeds: I kid you not.

Perhaps ground walnuts would help. Never tried it: just a thought.

Thanks for your comments but i think i have it figured out. It seems the trick is to melt some butter in a saucepan until it turns brown and add it to the mix. This, i think, gives it the nutty taste. Will know next time i make it.
