Semi-dried Tomato, Black Olive, Wild Garlic Lower Carb Soda Bread
2018 was the first time I became interested in the low-carb diet. At the start cutting out bread was like loosing an arm. Subsequently, I decided to developed a simple wholesome low-carb loaf which was rich in flavour and had a texture similar to whole-wheat.Since then this bread had taken legs and I have reinvented in many different guises. Once you grasp the basics - the core ingredients and measurements then tweaking the bread is super easy. The world will be your oyster in the world of lower-carb bread making.

Maggie's Tips
- If you want to make this bread dairy free use 4 eggs instead of 2 and add in 100ml of soya yoghurt instead of buttermilk.
- Wild garlic out of season. Replace with any of the following herbs: Basil, parsley, coriander, oregano, rosemary.
- This loaf is quite costly to make, so you might want to ration your slices.
- This bread freezes really well so why not cut into slices and take out and toast as needed.
