Traditional Soda Bread Recipe

Nothing worse than to go out of your way to get ingredients for a fancy bread, spending an hour putting them together only to have the yeast not rise. In today’s post, I share a NO FAIL Irish bread that has been my favorite to serve this time of year with stew or any other favorite traditional dish. You need not dispute if this is the real deal when it comes to Irish bread. A little research brought up an article with Irish Chef Roy O’Connell on Epicurious that traditional Irish Soda Bread is made with the exact ingredients I’ve been using for years.

Traditional Irish Soda Bread

Slice Dough Before Baking

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups buttermilk, more as needed

Instructions

Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Using your hand, mix in the flour from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be soft but not wet and sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Wash and dry your hands. Knead the dough lightly for a few seconds, then pat the dough into a round about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place it on a buttered baking sheet and using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross in the center of the dough reaching out all the way to the sides.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees, and continue to bake until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes longer. Serve warm.
