I am very fortunate to have a family made up for a whole bunch of different ethnicity's because that means all sorts of good foods. On this blog, we've tackled some traditional Ethiopian recipes, some Guatemalan recipes, American recipes, and, now, with Saint Patrick's Day coming up, we'll bring out the Irish in us. If you're interested in what else we've got to eat, just follow the Recipe link. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
4 to 4 1/2 Cups Flour
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
4 Tbsp. Butter
1 Cup Raisins
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1 3/4 Cups Buttermilk
Steps:
1) Preheat over to 425 degrees.
2) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 Cups Flour, the Sugar, Salt, and Baking Soda.
3) Work Butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
4) Stir in raisins.
5) Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
6) Add beaten Egg and Buttermilk to well.
7) Mix with wooden spoon until dough is too stuff to stir.
8) Dust hands with flour, then gently knead dough in bowl just enough to form a rough ball.
9) Transfer dough to lightly floured surface and shape into a round loaf.
10) Important: the dough will be a little sticky and pretty shaggy. You want to work it enough so that it comes together. Do not over-knead.
11) Transfer dough to a lightly greased cast-iron skillet or baking sheet.
12) Score top of dough about 1 1/2" deep in an "X" shape.
13) Bake until bread is golden and bottom sounds hollow when tapped (approx. 35-45 min.)
14) Remove pan from oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
15) Remove to a rack to cool briefly.
16) Best when eaten warm and just baked.

I've never tried that!
ReplyDeleteHappy "late" VGNO!
I love Irish Soda bread! We celebrate St.Paddy's Day big time here in Dublin, Ohio so this recipe will come in handy at my house! Happy late VGNO!
ReplyDeleteI've never had Irish Soda Bread. I love almost all kinds of bread though and think I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sounds delicious. I never had an Irish Soda Bread. My cousin loves it.I should try to make it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by.
Mmmmm how I love Irish soda bread! I have a recipe in my family that's been passed down (it looks very similar to this actually!) and it is just scrumptious. It's so yummy in fact, that I couldn't possibly only make it for St. Patrick's Day! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my blog - neither of us are big salmon fans - don't hate it but not in love with it either. We decided to eat healthy so we eat it once a week......so I'm always trying to find a way to make it different...Thanks again
ReplyDeleteI tried Irish Soda Bread this week too! I have a little bit of Irish in me and I wanted to start a tradition! Hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day!
