Happy Wednesday everyone!  Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  What better way to celebrate than to make a loaf of Irish Soda Bread!  I was excited to find this recipe on the blog Homemade In The Kitchen as I have never made Irish Soda Bread before and had been wanting to try it.  But you know me…I made a few tweaks to her recipe and will share both for you to try.  This loaf is the perfect size for two people and will go perfectly with a fun Irish lunch I have planned.  Serve warm with a pat of butter!  Yummmmm!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1 1/4 cups for recipe
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup flour to roll and knead the dough before going in oven

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

I added 1 1/4 cup of flour to the recipe and used the other 1/2 cup of flour to roll out my dough and knead it into a ball.  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.  

I love hearing from all of you and do my best to respond to each and every one of you.  I always enjoy your comments, feedback, and suggestions so keep them coming!  If I’ve posted a recipe (for our human and our furry friends) and you try it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram @twoadorablelabs and use #twoadorablelabs

      Yes, try it. It was so easy to make and fast. Normally this type of bread is on the dry side but mine was not. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!!
