Описание: These simple Date & Walnut Soda Bread Rolls are delicious and can be made in around 30 minutes.

Ingredients

275 g (9½ oz) plain flour
200 g (7 oz) wholemeal bread flour
250 g (8 fl oz) buttermilk
175 g (6 oz) pitted dates, chopped
75 g (3 oz) walnut pieces
50 g (2 oz) melted butter
1 beaten egg
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F fan oven, 220°C/430°F conventional oven.
Mix the flours, salt, baking soda, dates and walnut pieces in a large bowl.
Make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg, melted butter and buttermilk. Mix briskly with a wooden spoon.
Knead the dough for about 1 minute in the bowl to ensure it is well mixed.
Flour a surface and turn the dough out. Split the dough into 8 roughly-equal pieces.
For each piece of dough, roll it into a ball and flatten slightly. Place on a lightly-greased baking tray.
Before baking cut a cross into the top of each of the rolls about one-third of the depth of the roll.
Bake for 15 minutes then place on a wire rack to cool.

Notes
Instead of buttermilk you can use a 50:50 mixture of milk and plain yoghurt.

This dough can also be baked into a single loaf of bread. Make it into a round about 20 cm (8") across and cut a cross in the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

These rolls make excellent dinner rolls. All they need is cutting in half and spreading with butter!
