Irish Soda Bread
Classic Irish Soda Bread is a quick bread recipe without using any yeast or eggs. Instead we use baking soda and buttermilk for leavening. This simple, easy and delicious bread is done in 30 minutes.
Servings: 8
Equipment
- cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins
- ½ cup Irish whisky, for soaking raisins
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon turbinado sugar + more for sprinkling
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Soak raisins in whiskey for 1 hour in a medium bowl.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt, sugar and baking soda, and whisk the dry ingredients together.
- Drain raisins and add them to the dry mixture.
- Pour in buttermilk into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Using hands, mix until well combined only for a couple of minutes (do not overwork or knead the dough).
- Form into a ball and place on a cast iron skillet, greased baking sheet or dutch oven. Using the knife, cut the bread all the way down into four equal parts in an "X" shape. This will ensure proper and fast baking. Four separate parts will connect as the dough expands in the oven.
- Sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Bake for 30 minutes or until outside is browned.
