Savoury Soda Bread

I love a savoury bread and I especially love a bread that requires no proving or kneading and can be ready within an hour to serve with a homemade soup for lunch or served warm spread with butter for afternoon tea. This bread has cheese and spring onions added to the dough but anything can be added,  for example olives, cooked bacon, jalapeños or herbs and spices. The Tefal Cuisine Companion mixes all the ingredients in under 2 minutes and baking only takes 30 minutes. I have used
wholemeal  and plain flour but all plain flour or bread flour can be used.

Makes 1 small cob.
