An easy soda bread for a truly Irish experience!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1¾ cup buttermilk
Instructions
  1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Add butter and cut it into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry cutter until well combined
  3. Slowly add the buttermilk until a nice dough forms (it might not require all of it!)
  4. Knead a few times and shape into a nice bread round.
  5. With a sharp knife, cut an X across the top about half an inch deep.
  6. Now bake in a 350° oven for about 45 minutes.
  7. When the bread is done, it will have a nice brown color, sound hollow when tapped, and if you insert a skewer into it, it will come out clean.
  8. Let cool on a wire rack if you are able to resist.
Notes
Enjoy with butter, cheese, honey or just dunked in a nice bowl of soup.
