Yield Makes 1 large round loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
6 ounces candied orange peel, diced
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; butter parchment. Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in chocolate and orange peel. Whisk buttermilk and egg in medium bowl to blend; add to dry ingredients. Stir just until incorporated.
  • Turn dough out onto floured work surface and knead gently just until dough comes together, about 5 turns. Form dough into 6 1/2-inch-diameter round, about 2 to 2 1/2 inches high. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Using sharp knife, cut 1-inch-deep, 3-inch-long slits in top of bread, forming sunburst pattern.
  • Bake bread until well browned and very firm when pressed and tester inserted into center comes out clean, turning baking sheet halfway through baking, about 1 hour 10 minutes total. Transfer bread to rack and cool completely, at least 3 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in foil and store at room temperature.)

The bread was a bit dry. I think I should have added more buttermilk.

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

This bread is a bit denser than traditional soda bread, but I actually prefer it that way. It's more filling and satisfying.
