Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups whole milk
1/3 cup apple-cider vinegar
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
1/4 cup caraway seeds
1 cup raisins (5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix milk and vinegar; let stand until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in bran, seeds, and raisins.
  • Add milk mixture; stir until dough just holds together but is still sticky. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a round loaf, about 7 inches in diameter. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Lightly dust top of loaf with flour. Using a sharp knife, score an X in top. Bake, rotating halfway through, until loaf is golden brown and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

This bread was a disaster. It was so dense and dry, I could barely eat it. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'll definitely be trying a different recipe next time.

This Irish soda bread was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected, and it was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Irish soda bread didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was a bit dense and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This Irish soda bread was a bit dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked it. But the flavor was good, and it was still a nice bread to have with some butter and jam.

This Irish soda bread turned out fantastic! It had a lovely golden-brown crust and a soft and fluffy interior. The flavor was perfectly balanced, with a hint of sweetness and a subtle tang. It was so good that I ate two slices right out of the oven.
