Description

This traditional recipe for Irish soda bread has been passed down through multiple generations and produces a tried-and-true result every time.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups milk, or more as needed
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch round glass baking dish.
2 Mix flour, milk, raisins, sugar, caraway seeds, vegetable oil, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl until dough is not wet enough to pour and not dry enough to handle. Add more milk if dough is too dry. Transfer dough to the baking dish.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
