16
soda bread bread n
1 packet soda bread mix
350 ml water
butter to grease the bowl
Firstly grease the base and lower sides of the machine bowl with a little butter. This stops the
bread from sticking to the sides when baking. Turn on your Russell Hobbs Multi Cooker and
select the bread option. The default time of 3 hours will show. Select the timer and reduce
the time to 2 hours 15 minutes. In a large baking bowl place the packet mix and the water and
combine by hand. This will take a minute or so. Then place the mix in the now warm bowl, it
should almost cover the entire base of the bowl. With a plastic spatula divide the bread dough
into quarters. Close the lid. After 1 hour 45 minutes check on the bread – the base should be
golden brown and have a hollow sound to it when tapped. Turn the loaf over and leave for the
last half an hour – this is so the top of the loaf becomes slightly crispy. Take out and place on a
cooling tray for as long as you can resist the smell of warm bread. Eat with salted butter on its
own or with a meal.
Top Tip: don’t leave the bread in after it has finished cooking as it will end up being a bit soggy.
porridge porridge/risotto m
1½ cups oats
water
1 large tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
to serve
dark muscovado sugar
cream or milk
a small tot of whisky – optional
Using the cup provided place two measures into the Multi Cooker bowl. Add the salt and
the sugar – this means you get a good start to your end flavour from the start of the cooking
process. Fill with water to the 1½ line on the bowl marked porridge. Close the lid an select the
porridge/risotto option. It will take 1 hour. If you are doing less reduce by 15 minutes per ¼ less
oats. If you feel the urge you can stir it during the process but only if you want to.
Top Tip: this batch will serve 6 easily so you can pop it in the fridge once cooled and use it over a
couple of days ... mmmm.
You could add chopped dried apricots or halved prunes (stoned) into the mix when there are
about 15 minutes left to cook if you fancy an alternative to your porridge!
