Granny O'Brien'S Brown Irish Soda Bread

1. 1

   Mix dry ingredients very well or you will get lumps of soda or salt.

2. 2

   Moisten with yogurt until it has a bendy consistency.

3. 3

   Work very fast or the soda will lose its snap before you get it to the oven, which you preheat for 5 minutes at 450u00b0 (gas oven 7 to 8 minutes).

4. 4

   The intense heat is to harden the crust and stop the gas from escaping.

5. 5

   Form into a high round on a floured baking sheet, mark with a cross and bake 35 to 40 minutes.

6. 6

   Yields 1 large loaf which freezes admirably if you want to cut it in half and keep some.
