Irish Soda Bread
2 little noses trying to steal my Irish Soda Bread! Wonder who???
Irish Soda Bread
A small traditional loaf made with buttermilk and plump cranberries. A perfect bread to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl by hand with a spoon, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir in the buttermilk and cranberries (or raisins) until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 – 2 minutes. It should be soft and malleable but not overworked.
- Pat into a 4-inch dough ball and place on the pan. Cut an X into the top with a serrated knife.
- Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before slicing.
I added 1 cup of flour to the recipe and used the other 1/2 cup of flour to roll out my dough. The dough ball was thoroughly covered when placed on my baking pan therefore I did not need to spray it.
I used dried cranberries instead of raisins.
To plump the raisins (if you prefer):
Place raisins in a bowl. Pour hot water over top until raisins are completely submerged. Let sit 5 minutes or until plumped. Drain and pat dry before using.
