Traditional Irish Soda Bread - Quick and Easy

Introduction: 

Welcome to Flavor and Taste Cooking, your go-to destination for authentic and delicious recipes! Today, we're excited to share a beloved Irish staple: Traditional Irish Soda Bread. This quick and easy bread requires no yeast, making it perfect for a last-minute bake. With a crisp crust and tender crumb, it’s a delightful addition to any meal. Let's dive into the simplicity and flavor of this classic bread!

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups buttermilk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the ingredients.

  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk.

  4. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet. If it’s too dry, add a little more buttermilk.

  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just enough to bring it together into a round loaf. Avoid over-kneading as this can make the bread tough.

  6. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross into the top of the loaf. This helps the bread to cook evenly and allows the center to rise.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

  8. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
