Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked Irish Soda Bread in the morning! Perfect with a pat of butter and a cup of tea. ☕🍞
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup raisins
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, beat the buttermilk and egg together. Add this to the flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fold in the raisins.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form the dough into a round shape and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cut an ‘X’ into the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let the bread cool on a wire rack.
