My best friend Rita O’Malley shared this irresistible Irish soda bread recipe. It bakes up high, with a golden brown top and a combination of sweet and savory flavors.—Jan Alfano, Prescott, Arizona
Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins
2 eggs, beaten
1-1/2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon canola oil
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients. Stir in raisins. Set aside 1 tablespoon beaten egg. In a bowl, combine buttermilk, oil and remaining eggs; stir into flour mixture just until moistened (dough will be sticky). Transfer to a greased 9-in. round baking pan; brush top with reserved egg.
2. Bake 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool. Cut into wedges. Yield: 1 loaf (12 wedges).
