Time 50m

Yield 1 loaf, about 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2½ cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off with a knife
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch chunks, plus more for greasing the pan
8 ounces extra sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
1¼ cups low fat buttermilk (see note)
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Toss in the cold butter. Using a pastry cutter or two butter knives, "cut" the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly, with some pea-size clumps of butter within. Mix in the cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the egg. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just moistened. Do not overmix.
  • Transfer the sticky dough to the prepared pan. Dust your hands with flour and press the dough to the edges of the pan. Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool. Cut into wedges and serve warm with softened butter.
  • Note: If you'd like to make your own buttermilk, check out the easy method here.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. Once it's completely cooled, wrap it securely in plastic wrap and place in the freezer. To reheat, wrap the bread in aluminum foil and warm it in a 350°F oven until hot.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated sharp Cheddar
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper to a large bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps of flour. Add the Cheddar and chives. Stir to evenly combine the ingredients. Set aside.
  • Add the buttermilk and egg to a 2-cup measuring cup. Use a fork to scramble the egg into the buttermilk.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly flour your hands and knead the dough until it comes together, about 1 minute. Flip the dough so that it is seam-side down and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Use a serrated knife to cut a 1/2-inch-thick X on the top of the dough.
  • Bake until the bread is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.

SKILLET IRISH SODA BREAD SERVED WITH CHEDDAR AND APPLES



Skillet Irish Soda Bread Served With Cheddar and Apples image

Authentic Irish soda bread contains no raisins, butter or eggs. This American version is made with buttermilk, butter, eggs, raisins and sugar. It's baked in a heavy iron skillet so that the top and bottom crusts become crunchy and browned while the center stays tender and pale, studded with treacly bits of raisins.

BASIC IRISH SODA BREAD WITH CHEESE



Basic Irish Soda Bread With Cheese image

This is the most simple Irish Soda Bread recipe I've ever used. I learned it from an old Irish gentleman years ago, and it's been my favorite ever since. You can make it simply, and without the cheese, or add the cheese. With or without it, this recipe is great served with soups!

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggs, beaten
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
