Tips:

  • Before baking, use a sharp knife to score a deep cross on the top of the loaf. This will help it rise evenly and create a beautiful crust.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the bread tough. Just knead it until it comes together and is smooth and elastic.
  • If you don't have caraway seeds, you can substitute another type of seed, such as fennel seeds or poppy seeds.
  • This bread is best served fresh out of the oven, but it can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This traditional brown soda bread loaf with caraway seeds and rye is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any meal. It's crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly tangy flavor from the buttermilk. The caraway seeds and rye add a nice depth of flavor and a slightly nutty crunch. Whether you're serving it with soup, salad, or just a smear of butter, this bread is sure to be a hit.
