Traditional Irish Soda Bread
By: Halcyon Eve
Mar 17, 2006
This makes a fairly dense, rustic (ugly, even) loaf of bread that is tasty and not sweet. It is crusty and rough on the outside, chewy inside. Nummy hot with lots of butter!
SERVES 8 , 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1 1/2 cup buttermilk
Directions
1
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with melted butter or spray with non-stick spray.2
Combine dry ingredients in a deep bowl. Gradually stir in 1 cup buttermilk, beating constantly, until dough is firm enough to be gathered into a ball. If dough crumbles, add up to 1/2 cup more buttermilk, 1 tbsp at a time, until it holds together.3
Place on a lightly floured board and pat into an 8-inch flattened round loaf.4
Place loaf on baking sheet and slash a 1/2-inch deep "X" into the top of the dough with a small, sharp knife.5
Bake at 425 degrees F for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden.6
Serve hot.

How nice to find a soda bread without all the sweet extras! Easy to make (and I have NO talent in the bread making department) and taste great! Goes wonderfully well with stews and such..Total hit at this house

Simple, fast, dense, and tasty. This bread is a new staple in my diet now. I made it entirely with whole wheat flour and vegan buttermilk (soymilk + lemon juice). I like it best the day after--the flavors really develop then.

It was good, but I didn't think was great. My sister said, "It wasn't good and it wasn't bad."

This is EXCELLENT. I've been using another very similar recipe for Irish soda bread, which was ok. But the difference here I think is the higher temperature, 425. This bread turned out crusty/chewy/flavorful and delicious. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour, and made buttermilk from regular 1% milk with lemon juice. It's also incredibly easy to make.
