Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Traditional Irish Soda Bread with Raisins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C) and give two 8x4-inch loaf pans a light greasing to ensure your delicious creation slides out effortlessly later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, gather your all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Take a moment to mix these dry ingredients thoroughly; this step is key to achieving a perfectly balanced flavor in every bite.
Step 4
Next, gently fold in the sour cream, raisins, and eggs into the dry mixture.
Step 5
Stir just until everything is combined—remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to a dense loaf.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to share the love! Divide the batter evenly between your two prepared loaf pans, making sure each one gets a generous portion.
Step 7
Carefully place the pans in your preheated oven and let them bake for about an hour.
Step 8
You’ll know they’re ready when they turn a lovely golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll be counting down the minutes until you can enjoy a warm slice of this delightful loaf!.
