   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   500                g  plain white flour -- plus extra for dusting
   1                tsp  fine salt
   1                tsp  bicarbonate of soda
   100                g  walnut pieces
   200                g  stilton cheese -- crumbled
   400               ml  buttermilk -- About

Adding extra flavours to bread dough is popular these days but it was 
rare when I started out. Blue cheese works well in all types of bread 
and becomes even more special when combined with walnuts in this 
savoury soda bread.

Makes: 1 loaf
Bake: 30 to 35 minutes

Heat the oven to 200C/Gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.

Put the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl and mix 
well. Add the walnuts and stilton and stir gently. Make a well in the 
centre of the mixture and pour in half the buttermilk. Using the 
fingers of one hand (or a rounded-blade knife and then your fingers), 
draw the flour into the buttermilk. Continue to add the buttermilk 
until all the flour has been incorporated and you have a sticky 
dough. You may not need all the buttermilk (different brands of flour 
absorb slightly more or less liquid).

Tip the dough onto a floured surface, shape into a ball and then 
flatten slightly. Place on the prepared baking tray. Use a large 
sharp knife to mark the loaf into quarters, cutting deeply into the 
dough but not quite through the base. Dust the top of the loaf with flour.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the loaf is golden brown and sounds 
hollow when tapped on the base. You can carefully cut along one of 
the seams to see if the inside is cooked through; if not, put the 
loaf back in the oven for 5 minutes or so.

Transfer the soda bread to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. 
It is best eaten on the day it is made, or at least finished within a 
day or two. It also freezes well.
