MRS. O'CALLAGHAN'S SODA BREAD image

Number Of Ingredients 8

Makes 1 very large loaf.
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
3 cups all purpose flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup (packed) brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray heavy baking sheet with nonstick spray. 2. Whisk both flours, sugar, and baking soda in medium bowl to blend. Add butter and cut in until it is reduced to pea-size pieces. Add buttermilk; stir until shaggy dough forms. 3. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Knead until dough comes together, about 10 turns. Shape dough into 9-inch round (the round should be about 1 inch high). Place dough on prepared baking sheet. Cut large X, 1/2 inch deep, in top of dough, almost all the way to the edges of the round. 4. Bake bread in center of oven until deep brown and bottom sounds hollow when firmly tapped (a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the bread should emerge clean without any stickiness or moistness), about 35-40 minutes. Transfer bread to rack and cool completely.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover buttermilk. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

This soda bread is a delightful treat! I love its dense and crumbly texture, and the subtle sweetness from the raisins is just perfect.
