Irish Soda Bread

Ingredients: 

4 Cups Flourish Flour

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups buttermilk

Instructions: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2. Grease a baking sheet or 8 in round pan3. In a large mixing bowl, stir & toss flour, salt and baking soda.

3. Add the buttermilk and stir briskly with a fork until the dough holds together in a large mass. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 30 seconds, then pat into 8 in” pan about 1 ½ in thick. With a sharp knife slash a large ¼ inch deep X across the top.

4. Place the formed dough on a prepared baking sheet or cake pan and bake for about 45-50 mins, until it is nicely browned and the X has spread open.

5. Transfer to a rack to cool, then wrap in a slightly damp towel and let rest, on a rack, for at least 8 hours.

6. Soda bread should always be completely cooled before serving.
