Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for currants
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 3/4 cups cold buttermilk, shaken
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup dried currants

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is mixed into the flour.
  • With a fork, lightly beat the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest together in a measuring cup. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture. Combine the currants with 1 tablespoon of flour and mix into the dough. It will be very wet.
  • Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and knead it a few times into a round loaf. Place the loaf on the prepared sheet pan and lightly cut an X into the top of the bread with a serrated knife. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it will have a hollow sound.
  • Cool on a baking rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I usually serve it with butter and honey, but it's also great on its own.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The bread was absolutely delicious. It was moist and fluffy, with a slightly crispy crust. I will definitely be making this bread again.

This was my first time making Irish soda bread, and I was so pleased with how it turned out! The bread was moist and fluffy, with a slightly crispy crust. I used buttermilk in my bread, which gave it a lovely tangy flavor. I will definitely be making
