I don't have either a Kitchen-aid or a bread-maker and make bread as my mother did. Our family favourite is griddle bread - 30 mins from getting the mixing bowl out to eating it! 8 oz plain white flour, half teasp salt, half teasp breadsoda, 6oz buttermilk. Heat a flat cast iron griddle, just on the lowest setting. Blend the ingredients together using a spoon/spatula/hand. Don't mix too much, just until it's a softish dough, not wet though. You can do the traditional one cake of soda bread where you take it out, knead lightly for a few seconds on a lightly floured surface and then tidy it into a one inch high loaf. Place this on the griddle, about 15 mins first side and 10 mins on the second side. It'll be a light brown when cooked through and will sound a little hollow when you tap it. I usually split the dough into 4 and make individual breads. Cut across the middle if you're making the smaller ones or cut slices across the bread if you've made one loaf...it's so yummy when still warm and buttered!
