Printer Friendly Recipe

Irish Soda Bread is the traditional bread of Ireland. It is still baked in many houses all over the Emerald Isle.

This recipe is a variation of the traditional soda bread but delicious just the same. For a satisfying bread experience, eat this bread fresh in the morning with butter and a steaming cup of Irish Tea.

Ingredients:

3 cups of flour
1 cup of buttermilk
1 cup of raisins
1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
2 tablespoons of sugar

Directions:

Sift the flour, baking soda and powder into a bowl. Add in the sugar and raisins. Stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Add in the buttermilk (you can use sour milk also!) and form a dough.

On a floured surface, knead to dough by continuously folding the dough into itself. Form a round shape and cut a cross shape on the dough to keep the bread from "bursting" during the baking process.

Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes at 350°F.
