Really easy soda bread to make on lockdown | Lawrence Murphy
Over the past few months I have been writing about some of our wonderful growers, producers, farmers, and farm shops in the surrounding area.
Due to the current situation we are all in, it is going to be difficult to visit them to buy their products.
The farm shops are still open allowing a few customers in at a time, and I would love you to support the other producers by using their delivery services.
My restaurant, Fat Olives in Emsworth, has closed and I will continue to write a recipe on a weekly basis. Some of you will have extra time on your hands to practice your culinary skills while key workers will be working harder than ever, so I will try to do some simple recipes and some a bit more challenging.
Most of you will have the ingredients for this soda bread which is really quick and easy so should appeal to everyone.

Tspn bicarbonate of soda
Good pinch of salt
