Crusty, buttery, and full of flavor. This Irish Soda Bread might not be the most traditional version ever created, but it is quite possibly the most delicious!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups + 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (divided)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into squares
1 3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
1 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat or a piece of parchment paper, or coat with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the four cups flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the butter and with a pastry blender or your fingers, squeeze and mix the butter in with the flour mixture until the butter is about the size of peas.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest.
  • Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon just until the dough starts to come together. Add the dried cranberries and stir just until incorporated. The dough will be wet and sticky.
  • Spread some of the remaining flour onto a flat surface and turn the dough out onto it. Sprinkle a bit more flour over the bread and begin kneading, adding more flour as you go, until the bread is no longer sticky and you're able to knead it easily.
  • Form dough into a round loaf and place on the baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut an "X" into the top.
  • Bake for 45 - 55 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread sounds a little hollow when you knock on it. You can also try using a cake tester just to be sure - when it comes out clean, it's done.
  • Let cool for at least 10 minutes, then slice, butter, and serve. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap; keeps at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Overall, I thought this bread was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The bread was a bit dense for my liking. I think I would add more baking powder next time.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

Overall, I thought this bread was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was expecting, and the texture was a bit dense. I wouldn't make it again.

I wasn't a fan of the cranberries in this bread. I think I would prefer it with raisins or nuts instead.
