Categories     Bread

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups All-Purpose Flour ((260 grams))
2 cups Wholemeal Flour ((260 grams))
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 cups Buttermilk (, see note 1)
1 Small Egg (for brushing)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine both flours, salt and baking soda and give everything a good mix until well combined.
  • Pour in buttermilk and mix with a wooden spoon until the flour has absorbed all the liquid. Now, use your hands to form a dough. You can do this either in the bowl or by transferring the dough onto a floured worktop (if the dough is thicker, you might need to knead it to come together 2 or 3 times).
  • Transfer the loaf onto a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and brush with egg wash (beaten egg).
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius) for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown on top and the bottom is hard (brown as well).
  • When ready, take it out and let it cool down before slicing.

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 cups (265g/ 9oz) whole wheat flour ((fine or coarsely ground))
1 3/4 cups (265g/9oz) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons (30g/1oz) butter ((cold))
1 egg
1 ⅔ cups (13floz/370ml) buttermilk*
1 tablespoons oats

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (215°C).
  • Mix together the flours, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles bread crumbs.
  • In a separate jug, whisk the egg and buttermilk together (see note on how to make Buttermilk below)
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid, 3/4 at once, into the flour mixture.
  • Using an open hand bring the flour and liquid together to a loose dough. The dough should be quite soft, but not too sticky. You will know then if it needs more of the liquids. (Flour in different places reacts differently to added liquid).
  • Turn onto a floured work surface and gently bring the dough together into a round, about 1 1/2 inches (4cm) thick (8 inches by 8 inches).
  • Place on a baking sheet dusted well with flour.
  • Score the bread by blessing it with a deep cross on top. Poke a hole in the 4 corners of the bread to release the fairies and stop them from cursing your beautiful bread.
  • Glaze the bread with the leftover bit of buttermilk in your jug and dust the top with rolled oats.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then turn down the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 30 minutes more. When done, the loaf will sound slightly hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool.

THE BEST IRISH SODA BREAD



The Best Irish Soda Bread image

We prefer the slightly sweet American version of this classic Irish quick bread, so we added dried currants and a small amount of sugar. Buttermilk and baking soda give the loaf plenty of lift and butter gives it a moist crumb.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
2/3 cup dried currants
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
Irish butter, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line an 8-inch round cake pan with a large sheet of parchment paper, pressing it into the edges of the pan and leaving an overhang on 2 sides (the extra parchment will help you unmold the loaf later).
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter cubes to the flour mixture and toss to combine. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut or rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the currants and caraway seeds.
  • Whisk the buttermilk and egg together in a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the buttermilk mixture into the center. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir the mixture until it starts to come together in a shaggy mass.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Turn the dough mixture out onto the floured surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Shape it into a domed disk. Place the dough into the prepared cake pan and cut a cross about 1/2-inch deep into the surface of the dough with a sharp knife. Bake until the top is puffed and lightly browned and a cake tester comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove from the oven and use the parchment overhang to lift the bread from the pan. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with good Irish butter.
