Happy St. Patrick's Day!
One of our family's favorite traditions is making Irish Soda Bread. I was always under the impression that soda bread was a glorified, oversized scone, stuffed with currants and dried fruit. I was researching recipes and discovered that traditional soda bread is rather plain, but when properly cooked is moist and flavorful. Here's my take on Traditional Irish Soda Bread.
4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
14 oz buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425
degrees. Lightly grease and flour a cake pan. In a large bowl, sieve and
combine all the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk to form a sticky dough.
Place on a floured surface and lightly knead (too much allows the gas to
escape). The dough should be similar to sticky biscuit dough.
Shape into a round,
flat shape and place in the prepared cake pan. Cut a cross in the top of the
dough. Cover the pan with another cake pan and bake for 30 minutes. Remove
cover and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with
a clean tea towel, lightly sprinkled with water to keep the bread moist. Store
in a plastic bag when completely cooled. Delicious served warm with butter and
jam!
