Irish Soda Bread
I made this for a St. Patrick party and it was delicious. The recipe source is my friend Mary Lund
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cups buttermilk
Methods/steps
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sift dry ingredients into large bowl. Add buttermilk slowly to make soft dough. Work quickly because buttermilk and soda will begin to react quickly. Knead dough lightly - too much handling will toughen it, while too little means the dough may not rise properly. Form into round loaf, about 2 inches thick. Place on lightly-floured baking sheet; cut cross in top with floured knife. Bake 30-45 minutes. When baked, loaf will sound hollow when rapped on the bottom with knuckles. Wrap in cloth to stop crust from becoming too hard.
