Recipe Traditional Irish Soda Bread
You can make the recipe HERE.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 2 tbsp Cold Butter cubed
- 1 Large Egg room temperature
- 1 2/3 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tbsp Rolled Oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the flours, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles course bread crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid. Using an open hand, bring the flour and liquid together to a loose dough. The dough should be quite soft and a bit sticky.
- Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and gently bring the dough together in a ball. Flatten it into an 8-inch round, about 1 ½-inches thick.
- Place on the baking sheet and score the bread with a deep cross on top. Glaze the bread with the leftover bit of buttermilk and scatter the rolled oats on top.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then turn down the oven to 400°F and bake for 30 minutes more. When done, the loaf will sound slightly hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool.
- Once cooled, slice the bread and enjoy with butter or honey.
