To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook irish soda bread using 5 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Irish Soda Bread:
- Get 300 g plain flour
- Get 300 g wholemeal flour
- Make ready 2 tsp salt
- Prepare 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Take 600 ml buttermilk
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, caraway seeds, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk eggs and sour cream. It's much faster than most other bread recipes, because it does not contain any yeast. Soda bread is leavened with just baking soda, so you don't have to wait a long time for it to rise.
Steps to make Irish Soda Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 220 C.
- Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- Add the buttermilk in slowly. Mix initially with a spoon and use your hands when it becomes too tough. - - Move the formed dough to a floured surface. The books I've read say that you shouldn't handle these doughs too much, so just kneed just enough to bring it together into a nice sphere, and place on some baking paper. I use a pizza stone for all bread-like foods.
- Flatten the dough and scour deeply with a serrated knife.
- Bake at 220 for about 15 mins. Then drop the temperature to 200 and cook for 20-25 mins.
- Let cool before digging in. This is beautiful warm, with lavish coatings of butter, and dipped into soup! :)
This soda bread is a slightly fancied up Americanized version of the Irish classic, with a little butter, sugar, an egg, and some currants or raisins added to the base. You can bake it in a cast iron frying pan (now that's traditional!) or an a regular baking sheet. 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!
