Irish Soda Bread Recipe

March 17, 2010

  • 1

I have always LOVED Irish Soda Bread it is one of the best parts of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.

Irish soda bread is a quick bread,

with no yeast or rising time.

It comes together quickly if you are using a pastry cutter, then you’ll knead it a few times and then start baking

You can add raisins, which is traditionally how it’s served and really one of the only times I like raisins in baked goods!

When cutting in butter into recipes, be sure the butter is ice cold, that is how baked goods turn out so yummy!

 

This is the one time of year I typically buy buttermilk, I have used dry buttermilk that is available in the baking aisle with good results, or milk and vinegar, but I really like real buttermilk in this recipe best.

If you have extra buttermilk or want some more recipes using buttermilk look at

Dusting the bread with powdered sugar and having it served slathered with butter is my favorite.

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. Have you tried making it in a bread cloche? I just got one for Christmas and want to start using it more… and I LOVE Irish soda bread!
