Seeded Soda Bread Rolls

Making seeded soda bread rolls has to be the quickest way to get something tasty out of the oven for lunch. I am going to use this as a base recipe to come up with some more fantastic flavour combinations.

In 2003 on our first trip to Italy I realized my basic Italian was not good enough to get by. Wanting to learn to speak the language well enough to shop and eat, I bought myself the BBC Italian CD’s. I listened to these in the car until I felt I was fluent enough. And the next time we went, I practiced what I had learnt. By then, the bug to learn more had bitten and the next course I did was a Collin’s one. This was for more conversational Italian and I felt more confident speaking to people after having completed the course. Wanting to keep learning new words I downloaded Learn Italian with Paul Noble. His method of teaching is great, and by 2018 I was fluent enough to speak to total strangers without feeling insecure.

Since then I have watched RAI Italia which is available to us on our satellite TV package. The news readers speak extremely fast but I really only listen to keep my ear tuned to the way the words are spoken, even if I don’t understand all of them. In 2015 I signed up for Duolingo but found the learning clumsy. Being an American based app using the words candy and cookies is foreign to me. But, I have turned back to it this year as I needed a new challenge. It is extremely repetitive but I know that is a good learning method. And, I am learning new words which is a good thing. This time around I am finding it much easier to use as my grammar is much better. And if I am not rushing, I remember which verb formation is correct. Hopefully by the time we return to Italy I will be more confident.

* aniseeds have a very distinct flavour and not many people like them. For rye breads I like to use caraway seeds. But you can choose any seed you like, (poppy seeds would be great) to use instead.
