How To Make Air Fryer Soda Bread

Soda bread in an air fryer is really simple. I made this in a Cosori Dual Blaze air fryer, but it can be made in other air fryer models.

What You Need For Soda Bread

500g wholemeal flour
1.5 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
1.5 tsp. salt
500ml buttermilk

air fryer soda bread ingredients: buttermilk, flour and bicarbonate of soda

Preparing Soda Bread Dough

Start by mixing the dry ingredients together. Sift the flour, salt, and bicarbonate of soda in a large mixing bowl.

Next, make a well in the middle of the dry mixture.

Slowly pour the buttermilk into the centre of the well.

Using your hands, mix everything together until a soft dough forms. The dough should be a little bit sticky to the touch. If it is too dry, add a little bit of buttermilk, but don’t overwork the dough. Form the dough into a ball.

Transfer the dough to the air fryer basket, placing it on some baking paper.

Flatten the dough down and score two lines across the top with a sharp knife, about 1cm deep.

Return the basket to the air fryer and set it off at 180°C for 30 to 35 minutes.

The soda bread is ready when it is brown, also turn the loaf over and gently tap the bottom; it should sound hollow if it is ready. If it isn’t, return it to the air fryer basket for a few more minutes.

Remove the soda bread from the air fryer basket and let it cool for a short while before slicing it.
