For a softer crust (Soda Bread)

A few tips on baking bread to get that elusive soft crust

These tips are, for the most part, aimed at soda bread recipes (white, brown, treacle, railway cake etc) although you can use this tip for any type of bread really.

1. Add a tablespoon of Oil to buttermilk - you can also make this a health benefit!
   
2. When the bread is ready, remove it from the oven and wrap the bread in a tea-towel or cloth and allow to cool on a wire rack. The heat releases slowly through the cloth and softens the crust.
