Yield One large loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons caraway seeds, optional
1 cup raisins
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the middle level of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt and stir well to mix.
  • Add the butter and rub in until the butter disappears into the dry ingredients.
  • Stir in the caraway seeds if used and the raisins.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg together and mix into the dough mixture with a rubber spatula.
  • Turn the dough out on a floured work surface and fold it over on itself several times, shaping it into a round loaf. Transfer the loaf to one cookie sheet or jelly roll pan covered with parchment or foil and cut a cross in the top. Bake for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 350 and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes more, until well colored and a toothpick plunged into the center emerges clean.
  • Cool the soda bread on a rack and serve with plenty of sweet butter and bitter orange marmalade.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread turned out dense and dry. I'll try again with a different recipe.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
