Indulge in a fiber-rich snack: cider soda bread with warm apple chutney.
Ingredients:
  • 375.00 gm self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 375.00 gm wholemeal self-raising flour
  • 8.00 gm baking powder
  • 2.50 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 2.40 gm salt
  • 260.00 gm buttermilk, plus extra for brushing
  • 250.00 ml crushed apple cider (see notes)
  • Buttermilk, extra, for brushing
  • 100g vintage cheddar cheese, to serve
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp yellow mustard seeds
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, halved, cored, thinly sliced
  • 27.20 gm sultanas
  • 82.50 ml cider vinegar
  • 82.50 ml crushed apple cider
  • 16.00 gm brown sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced and prepare a baking tray by lining it with baking paper.
  • Sieve flours, baking powder, bicarb, and salt into a large bowl, creating a well in the center. Pour in buttermilk and cider. Using a butter knife, mix until a dough forms. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently knead, and shape into a 4cm-thick, 20cm round. Place on a prepared tray, make 7 shallow slits in the dough, then brush with extra buttermilk. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Prepare the apple chutney by heating oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until softened for about 5 minutes. Add garlic, mustard seeds, and cloves and sauté until aromatic for about 1 minute. Stir in apple, sultanas, vinegar, cider, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until the apples are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, discard cloves, and allow the chutney to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve cheddar on sliced bread with a warm dollop of chutney.
