Organic Irish Soda Bread
This easy, rustic bread tastes fabulous warm with butter and honey. Also perfect for sopping up delicious broths and stews.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Arrow Mills Organic Unbleached Flour
- 1 tsp Bob's Red Mill Pure Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Hain Iodized Sea Salt
- 14 oz Organic Buttermilk
- 2 tbsp Great Value Organic Cane Sugar (for sweet bread) optional
- 2 tsp Great Value Organic Rosemary (for savory bread) optional
- 2 tsp Great Value Organic Garlic Powder (mix in with rosemary) optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease and flour a cake pan or baking sheet.
- Combine dry ingredients. Add milk to make a sticky dough. Place on floured surface to lightly knead and shape into slightly flattened round. Don't over-knead or all the gases from the soda/buttermilk reaction will escape.
- Place in pan and cut an X in the top. Cover with another pan and bake 30 minutes.
- Remove cover and bake another 10-15. Bottom should sound hollow when tapped.
- Cover with a moist towel. Store leftovers in a tightly sealed container or zipper bag.
Notes
*To make buttermilk: Add 1 tbsp. white vinegar to 1 cup of 2% or whole milk. Let sit for 5 minutes or more.
