Irish Soda Bread
This Irish soda bread recipe uses just 4 pantry staples for a warm, crusty loaf that's perfect for slathering with butter and jam, or soaking up your favorite soup. No kneading required!
Servings: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- Softened butter and jam for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
- Whisk together 4 cups all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour 2 cups buttermilk into the center.
- Mix the dough together using your hands or a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring it together just until it forms a round.
- Place the loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet. With a knife, score the top of the loaf in an x. Place it in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Take the loaf out of the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into it. Serve with Softened butter and jam or alongside my Guinness Beef Stew.
