Rosie's Traditional Irish Soda Bread image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9 inch bread, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 pint sour cream
2 eggs
2 tablespoons caraway seeds (optional but I always use them)
3/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl beat eggs and stir in sour cream.
  • Add the egg and sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Batter will be very thick.
  • Add the raisins and caraway seeds and stir well with wooden spoon or knead in with your hands.
  • Place batter in a greased 9 inch springform pan.
  • Dust the top with enough flour so that you can pat the batter like a bread dough evenly in the pan without it sticking to your hands.
  • With a knife make a shallow crisscross on the top.
  • Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated 350ºF oven.
