Dairy-Free Irish Soda Bread Sandwiches with Ham

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C).
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tsp of salt.
3. 3In a separate bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of melted dairy-free butter and the 1.5 cups of dairy-free plain yogurt by stirring them together.
4. 4Pour the wet ingredients from the separate bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or your hands until everything is just combined into a shaggy dough; do not overmix.
5. 5Lightly dust a clean surface with a small amount of the 4 cups of all-purpose flour. Turn the dough out onto this surface and gently shape it into a round loaf, approximately 5.08 cm high.
6. 6Using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross shape into the top of the round loaf. Place the loaf onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven at about 205°C (200°C) for 35 to 40 minutes. The bread is done when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. 7Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully transfer the hot bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely; this is important so the bread does not fall apart when you slice it.
8. 8Once the bread is completely cool, slice it. Spread mustard to taste on the slices of bread, then layer with the 8 slices of ham to make your sandwiches.
