Cheese and onion soda bread

Heat the oil in a pan, then fry the onion until soft and golden brown then set aside.

Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan, gas mark 5).

Mix together the flour, cream of tartar, salt, bicarbonate of soda and sugar in a large bowl and make a well in the centre.

Whisk together the milk and yoghurt, then pour most of it into the well.

Add the onion, sage and cheese and mix with a wooden spoon to give a soft but not wet dough, adding the remaining milk and yoghurt mixture, plus a little extra milk if necessary, if the dough is too stiff.

Turn the dough out on to a lightly-floured surface and flatten into a round about 4cm (1½ inch) thick.

Place on a greased baking sheet and cut a cross in the top using a floured knife.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Slide the loaf off the baking sheet and wrap in a clean tea towel to keep it soft.
