Soda Bread Pizza

30 mins Cook
Scroll to recipe

May’s session of Kids in the Kitchen with Gem gave young cooks the chance to fuse cuisines and prepare a dish that they will remember.

This recipe combines classic Irish cuisine (soda bread and a full Irish Breakfast ) with a more recent family favourite Pizza. We bet you’ve never added oregano to your loaf before!

It’s ideal for lazy weekend mornings, catching up with friends, or getting a special day off to a great start.

And if you’re not a morning person, you could get the kids to measure and chop your ingredients the night before, leaving less to do when brunch rolls around. Just make sure to store everything safely again – for example, meat in the fridge – until you’re ready to cook.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • For the soda bread pizza:

  • 250 g Gem plain flour

  • 1 teaspoon Gem bread soda

  • 220 ml buttermilk

  • ½ teaspoon sugar

  • Salt and pepper (to season)

  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  • For the toppings:

  • 3 tablespoons baked beans OR tomato relish

  • 200 g mozzarella and cheddar mix

  • 4 pork sausages

  • 4 bacon medallions

  • Cherry tomatoes

  • Mushrooms

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 200c /180c fan/gas mark 4.
2
Line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
3
Remove the sausage meat from the sausage skins. Roll into 16 balls and arrange on a tray.
4
Cut the bacon medallions into strips with clean scissors. Arrange on a tray with the sausage-meat balls.
5
Use the bridge method to slice your tomatoes and mushrooms. Leave them to one side.
6
Bake your sausage balls and bacon for 5 minutes while you make your soda bread base.
7
Sieve the GEM plain flour and GEM bread soda together into a large mixing bowl.
8
Add the oregano and season with salt and pepper.
9
Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk.
10
Mix everything together using a wooden spoon.

Sprinkle a little flour over your work surface. This will stop the bread mixture from sticking. Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread mix into a pizza base.

Place the base on the second lined baking tray.

Remove your meat toppings from the oven.

Add your baked beans/tomato relish to the base.
