1 Hour Irish Soda Bread!
15-25 Minute Prep
35-45 Minute Bake
Ingredients:
4 to 4 1/2 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 Tbsp butter
1 cup raisins
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Whisk together 4 cups of flour, the sugar, salt, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Mix the butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
3. Stir in raisins.
4. Add beaten egg and buttermilk and mix in with a wooden spoon until dough is too stiff to stir.
5. Dust hands with a little flour, then GENTLY knead dough in the bowl just long enough to form a rough ball.
6. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a round loaf.
7. The dough will be a little sticky. As needed add a bit of flour so that you can handle the dough. DO NOT: over-knead because then it will become tough.
8. Again, transfer the dough. This time it will be to a large, lightly greased baking sheet. Using a knife, cut/score the top of dough about an inch and a half deep in an “X” shape. Bake until bread is golden brown, about 35-45 minutes.
