Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Irish Soda Bread.
Step 1
Start by creating your own buttermilk: in a small bowl, mix together milk and vinegar, then let it sit for about 10 minutes until it thickens and curdles.
Step 2
While that’s happening, preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a baking sheet a light greasing to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Once your soured milk is ready, gradually pour it into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Now, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it lightly, just enough to bring it together, then shape it into a lovely round loaf.
Step 6
Place your beautifully shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
To add a touch of flair and help the bread rise evenly, use a sharp knife to cut a gentle 'X' on the top.
Step 8
This little step allows steam to escape and keeps your loaf looking perfect as it bakes.
Step 9
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it work its magic for about 45 minutes.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s done when the bread turns a gorgeous golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap the bottom.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await your homemade bread!.
