Description

Here’s an awesome recipe for Irish Soda Bread. Lightly sweetened with a very tender crumb, it’s absolutely delicious all by itself, toasted with jam, or plain with a healthy schmear of Irish butter, which is our favorite way to eat it. There’s no yeast in this recipe, so it can be made in a fairly short amount of time. Just bring a stick of butter to room temperature, then mix, shape and bake. That’s it—give it a go!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 4 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ⅓ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Fine Salt
  • ½ cups Unsalted Butter, Softened
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 F and grease a sheet pan.

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a spoon or your fingers, add the softened butter and mix until combined. Add the egg and buttermilk; combine until a shaggy dough forms.

Dust a work surface with flour and knead the shaggy dough for a minute or two until you can form a ball. Place on the greased sheet pan.

In a heat proof container, combine butter and buttermilk. Gently melt the butter and buttermilk together (you can do this in just a few seconds in the microwave) and brush over the top of the dough.

Cut an “X” on the top of the dough. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Cool completely on a cooling rack.
