Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the soda bread rolls warm with butter, cheese, soup or alongside a main meal. They also work well for Breakfast with jam or honey.Recipe Notes
Keep the dough slightly sticky and avoid adding more flour than necessary. Too much flour can produce dense rolls. Mix only until the ingredients come together and handle the dough gently when shaping. The recipe makes six rolls of approximately 80 g each. Cutting a deep cross into each roll helps them cook evenly and gives them their traditional soda bread appearance.Cooking Advice
Cook the rolls in batches if they cannot fit comfortably in the air fryer basket. Leave enough space between them for the hot air to circulate. They are ready when golden and firm to the touch.Storage Advice
Store the cooled rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the Airfryer at 180°C for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.Wine Advice
Wine is not normally needed with these simple soda bread rolls. When they are served alongside cheese or a savoury meal, choose a suitable wine from René's Wijnbeleving to match the accompanying dish.Nutrition values
