I posted this recipe and thought I'd post it again. I also found a recipe for Irish Tea Soda Bread that I made yesterday and it was fabulous. I bake my soda breads in a iron skillet.
Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients (measure precisely for baking bread)
· 3 cups white all-purpose flour
· 1 cups whole wheat flour
· 4 tablespoons white sugar
· 1 teaspoon baking soda
· 1 tablespoon baking powder
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 cup margarine, softened
· 1 ¼ cup buttermilk
· 1 egg
· 1/4 cup butter, melted
· 1/4 cup buttermilk
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt
4. Cut in ½ C margarine.
3. Stir in 1 ¼ cup of buttermilk and egg. Stir until the milk and egg are mixed. Just barely mix the ingredients.
4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead very slightly. Do not overwork the dough.
5. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.
6. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean
