Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, here is my go-to recipe for Irish Soda Bread. Even if you've never made bread before, this is the perfect recipe to get started on because there's no yeast involved making it very baker friendly. It's best served warm with a generous pat of butter on top!
IRISH SODA BREAD
(recipe and photo found at www.landolakes.com)
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup currants or raisins
Directions:
Heat oven to 375°F. Combine all ingredients except buttermilk and currants in large bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and currants just until moistened.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead gently 10 times. Shape into ball. Place onto greased baking sheet. Pat into 6-inch circle. Cut 1/2-inch deep “X” in top of dough with sharp knife.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
