Time 3h

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface, hands, and skewer
1 1/2 cups rye flour
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups well-shaken low-fat buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together flours, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Gather mixture into a mound; create a deep well in the center. Pour buttermilk into well. Gradually stir flour mixture into buttermilk with a wooden spoon, starting in center and working outward, until a dough forms.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and, with lightly floured hands, form a cohesive ball. (Do not overwork dough.) Pat ball into a 7-inch-wide domed round and transfer to a baking sheet. Across top of round, cut a 1-inch-deep X with a floured knife. Poke holes at 1-inch intervals to bottom of dough (about 28 holes total) with a floured wooden skewer.
  • Bake bread 30 minutes. Turn bread upside down; continue baking until cooked through and loaf sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, about 10 minutes more. Transfer loaf to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing and serving. Bread can be made 2 days ahead and stored, whole, at room temperature, in a paper bag or wrapped in parchment.

The bread was a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more buttermilk next time.

I had some trouble getting the bread to rise properly. I think I might have added too much flour.

I'm not a big fan of rye bread, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The bread was moist and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

This bread is dense and flavorful, with a slightly sour tang. It's perfect for sandwiches or toast, and it also makes great croutons.

I've never made soda bread before, but this recipe made it so easy. The bread turned out perfect - golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served it with some Irish butter and honey and it was amazing.
