I don't have an oven, and I love soda breadDidn't people used to make it in cast iron pots over open fires? Any other ideas for bread in a skillet would be appreciatedI miss that homemade taste!
Yes you can make Irish soda bread in a skilletJust use about half the ingredients recommended for oven bread and prepare in the same wayFlatten the dough on a floured board until it is about 1/2 inch thickYou can bake it on a non-stick heavy frying pan or a skillet which has been lightly sprinkled with flourUse the lid if you have one, rather than tin foil, it will keep the heat inBake on a very low heat for about 20 minutes, then turn over and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes or until cookedIt should be light brown and sound hollow when it is tappedWrap it in a tea towel when ready to soften the crustKeep an eye on it while baking as it can be hard to judge the perfect heat on different stoves, but after a few tries you will find which is best for yours.
