Irish Soda Bread is a dense quick bread that uses baking soda for leavening, rather than yeast, making it a quick and easy recipe to bake at home. Various recipes for soda bread are popular throughout Ireland, but American versions of Irish Soda Bread traditionally include California raisins, which add a scrumptious sweetness and also help to keep the soda bread moist. Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup buttermilk |
1/4 cup melted butter |
1 egg |
1 cup california raisins |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
3. Stir in buttermilk, butter and egg until well mixed; stir in raisins. Knead several times on a lightly floured board then shape into a ball.
4. Place on prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly.
5. Cut a small x in the top and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
