Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup butter, cut into pieces
1 cup raisins
½ cup currants
2 teaspoons caraway seed
¾ cup milk
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  • Stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl until evenly blended. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Stir in the raisins, currants, and caraway seeds, then make a well in the center and pour in the milk and vinegar. Stir with a spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well floured work surface, and knead gently 8 to 10 times. Divide the dough into two balls, and place onto the prepared baking sheets.

ROSIE'S TRADITIONAL IRISH SODA BREAD

This Irish soda bread recipe was passed on to me by a dear friend of my mother's who was born and raised in Ireland. It's the best Irish soda bread I have ever had. It is much higher, lighter and softer than most other recipes I have seen. It has an excellent flavor and texture, as well.
