🥖 4‑Ingredient Soda Bread – Quick Irish Classic - The Perfect Breakfast or Snack Companion

Ingredients

• • 2 ⅞ cups all-purpose flour
• • 1 ⅞ teaspoon baking soda
• • 1 ⅞ cup buttermilk
• • 1 ⅞ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. 3

   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon or a dough whisk to mix the ingredients together until they form a shaggy dough.

4. 4

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently for about 1 minute, until it comes together into a cohesive ball.

5. 5

   Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Cut a deep cross in the top of the loaf.

6. 6

   Bake the soda bread for 35-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
