Irish Soda Bread

We made this soda bread recently, I love getting the kids in the kitchen and simple recipes like this one are great, easy to follow and they can get stuck in mixing and kneading its also healthy. Remember little kids make a mess take a deep breath its so worth it, as its priceless if they grow up with a desire to cook and eat healthy food.

3. in another bowl, beat the egg and yogurt and then add to the dry ingredients
4. knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes shape into a ball and mark with a cross ( I made this with the kids and let them make two mini ones)
