Description

This traditional Irish soda bread recipe uses buttermilk and baking soda to make a moist and delicious soda bread for a tasty St Patrick's day treat.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2 Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Blend egg and buttermilk together; add all at once to the flour mixture and mix just until moistened. Stir in butter. Pour into prepared pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 65 to 70 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the bread should come out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
