How do you make Irish soda bread?

In: International Cuisine, Recipes [Recategorize]

Answer

4 cups plain flour 1tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp sugar (optional) 2 cups buttermilk or sour milk

sieve dry ingredients into a large bowl. Scoop up handfuls and allow to drop back into the bowl to aerate the mix. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Now work quickly, as the buttermilk and soda are already reacting. Knead the dough lightly - too much handling will toughen it, too little & it won't rise! Form a round loaf about as thick as your fist. Put on a lightly floured baking sheet, & cut a cross in the top with a floured knife. Bake on the top oven shelf at 230 degrees C for 30-45 mins. When baked, it should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
