Best fresh out of the oven with butter and jam! I don't know where I found this recipe. If you prefer your Irish soda bread sweeter, feel free to add a little bit more sugar. Also, I don't get entangled in the debate over the authenticity of Irish soda bread; however, if it tastes delicious, that's good enough for me! Try this bread with stew or soup! Note that this is a high rising bread.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet, griddle, or cast-iron frying pan over medium-low heat.
  • Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl, and sift in the baking soda. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in the buttermilk. Stir the mixture quickly together into a dough, and turn out onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough a few times, just until it comes together. Gently form the dough into a flattened, round cake about 1/2 inch thick, and cut the round into quarters with a floured knife.
  • Sprinkle a little bit of flour into the bottom of the hot skillet, and cook the wedges 6 to 8 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk gives soda bread its characteristic tang and moist texture. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and the dough is slightly sticky.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help the bread cook evenly and develop a nice crust. Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the dough.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you're making multiple loaves of bread, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the bread until it's golden brown: The bread is done baking when it's golden brown on top and sounds hollow when you tap it on the bottom.

Conclusion:

Irish soda bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a loaf of fresh, homemade soda bread that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give Irish soda bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
