Moist Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 3/4 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Dust a baking sheet with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk.
- Mix the ingredients together until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly, shaping it into a round loaf.
- Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and use a sharp knife to make a deep "X" on the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
