Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons of caraway seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of caraway seeds.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until they come together to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it into a round loaf shape.
- Place the dough onto a lightly floured baking sheet and use a sharp knife to score a deep cross on the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400°F (200°C) and continue to bake for another 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool before slicing and serving.
Irish Soda Bread has a rich history dating back to the 1800s when baking soda became a popular leavening agent in Ireland. This traditional bread was a staple in Irish households due to its simple ingredients and quick preparation. The addition of caraway seeds, a popular spice in Irish cuisine, adds a unique flavor and aroma to the bread. Chefs and home cooks across Ireland have perfected their own versions of this beloved recipe, with some adding buttermilk for a tangy flavor and others opting for a sweeter variation with raisins. Today, the best Irish Soda Bread can be found in local bakeries and restaurants across Ireland, where it's often served with creamy butter or hearty stews. Whether you prefer a classic recipe or a modern twist, the key to perfect Irish Soda Bread lies in achieving a moist, tender crumb and a crusty exterior.
