Irish Soda Bread
This super easy Irish Soda Bread is quick, delicious and made with ingredients you probably already have at home!
Servings: 1 soda bread
Ingredients
- 4.5 cups King Arthur all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 5 tbs cold butter cubed
- 1 ¼ cup raisins
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk *or sub 1 ¾ cup whole milk with 1 ¾ tbs white vinegar
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and add parchment paper to a cast iron skillet and set aside.
- Add the flour, salt, baking soda and sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cold butter and cut into the flour, then add the raisins and stir to combine.
- Pour the buttermilk and one egg into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula to combine. The dough will be sticky — this is normal! Now, switch to your hands and pour the sticky dough on to a clean work surface.
- Grabbing a little extra flour, sprinkle some over the dough so that it's a bit easier to work with, and form into a ball. Add the ball to the cast iron and cut a small 'X' shape into the top with a sharp knife. Bake in the preheated over for ~50-55 minutes. Let cool ~10 minutes before cutting in!
