This traditional Irish Soda Bread boasts a tender crumb, made with simple ingredients like all-purpose flour and tangy buttermilk, perfect for any meal. Enjoy its rustic charm!

Ingredients

4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Salt
1 3/4 Cups Buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust it with flour.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until a rough, shaggy dough forms.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 8–10 times, just until the dough comes together. Don't overwork it.
Shape into a rustic round loaf about 2 inches thick and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, cut a deep X across the top, approximately ½ inch deep.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, until deeply golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
