Love Irish soda bread with raisins with a good cup of tea or coffee. You can add an egg wash to the top of the bread and then sprinkle with sugar before baking, if desired.

8 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar, or more to taste
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups buttermilk
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Add buttermilk, butter, and eggs. Knead together with your hands or use an electric mixer; add raisins. Split dough in half and form into 2 loaves. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
