Rye Irish Soda Bread

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Sift together flours, baking soda, and salt. Stir in raisins. Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until everything comes together into a dough, then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 30 seconds until it all comes together into a ball.

Slightly flatten the dough ball. Lightly flour a baking sheet and place dough on the baking sheet. Slice 4 deep slashes across the top of the dough; don’t slice all the way through. Lightly brush some buttermilk on top and dust with some flour (about 1 tablespoon). Bake for 30 minutes on the middle/lower rack in the oven. Then, quickly move the baking sheet up a rack and bake for another 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and top with your favorite butter.
