Recipe: Perfect Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients:
- 250g plain white flour
- 250g plain wholemeal flour
- 100g porridge oats
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 25g butter, cut in pieces
- 500ml buttermilk
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C and dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Pour in the buttermilk and mix it in quickly with a table knife, then bring the dough together very lightly with your fingertips (handle it very, very gently). Now shape it into a flat, round loaf measuring 20cm/8in in diameter.
- Put the loaf on the baking sheet and score a deep cross in the top. (Traditionally, this lets the fairies out, but it also helps the bread to cook through.) Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. If it isn’t ready after this time, turn it upside down on the baking sheet and bake for a few minutes more.
- Transfer to a wire rack, cover with a clean tea towel (this keeps the crust nice and soft) and leave to cool. To serve, break into quarters, then break or cut each quarter in half to make 8 wedges or slices – or simply slice across. Eat very fresh.

ingredients 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus additional for work surface 1 cup cake flour ¼ cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar 1 ½ teaspoons salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened, plus 1 tablespoon melted butter for crust 1 ¼ cups buttermilk 1 large egg lightly beaten 1 cup raisins 1 tablespoon caraway seeds optional Instructions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Work the softened butter into the dry ingredients with a fork or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the buttermilk and egg with a fork. Add the buttermilk/egg mixture, raisins, and caraway seeds to the flour mixture and stir with a fork just until the dough begins to come together. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead until the dough becomes cohesive and bumpy, about 12-14 turns. Do not knead dough until smooth; this will result in tough bread. Pat the dough into a round about 6” in diameter and 2” high and place on baking sheet. Use a serrated knife to cut an X in the top of the dough. X should be about 5” long and ¾” deep. Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. If bread is browning too much during baking, cover with a tent of aluminum foil. Remove bread from oven and immediately brush the surface with melted butter. Cool to room temperature, at least 45 minutes. Recipe Notes Recipe from Baking Illustrated.
