Delicious, Easy and Quick Irish Soda Bread

This Irish soda bread, however, is quick and easy to make. I took a lot of pictures so you can see step-by-step how to make this great treat. Truly from start to finish, you’re looking at ninety minutes, with sixty of those minutes being passive bread baking in oven time! So please read on. And if you have any questions, drop me a comment below or DM me @drjuliemarshall. This is such a tasty bread to make! It’s delicious right out of the oven, and I think even better, the next day when I toast it, slather on melted butter, and pair it with a cup of black tea. Perfection!! Here’s how to make this recipe:

Quick Irish Soda Bread

Ingredients:

-4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour

-1 Tablespoon Kosher salt

-3/4 tsp baking soda

-3/4 tsp baking powder

2 cups buttermilk (or you can substitute 2 cups of regular milk mixed with 2 T of lemon juice, allow to stand for five minutes)

2 cups golden raisins (or you can mix one cup of regular raisins with one cup of golden ones)

2 tablespoons of caraway seeds

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, raisins, and caraway seeds.

Make a well in the center, pour in the buttermilk, and mix well

Cover a section of countertop with saran wrap about three feet wide. Dust it lightly with flour. (This will make your cleanup sooo much easier!)

Stir the mixture a few times in the bowl to bring the dough together. Don’t overmix, just attempt to stir the buttermilk into the flour mixture. At this phase, the dough will look like this.

Now turn the mixture out onto the saran wrapped countertop. Sprinkle it lightly with a bit of extra flour and then knead the dough several times until you’ve formed a soft dough.

Shape the dough into a 6-inch round loaf; place on a greased baking sheet. Cut a large X on the top of the dough with a sharp knife.

Bake for about 60 minutes until light golden brown.

Remove from cookie sheet and let cool on a rack or on a cool stove burner.

Allow the bread to cool all the way. Slice your Irish soda bread with a serrated knife. Enjoy!!!
