Irish Soda Bread

Kevin L.O.V.E.S. Irish Soda bread.

Great Harvest makes a great bread each March.

 I've tried a few different recipes.

This one turned out to be very lovely but VERY salty!

 My best effort yet.

Spotted Dog Irish Soda Bread
Kevin said it was a "Perfect 10"
Sadly, I can't tell you how it tastes because I'd rather eat cookies!

Here's the original recipe.

I made a few changes:

2 c whole wheat flour

2 c white flour

1 t baking soda

1 t salt

2 t sugar

12 oz golden & regular raisins

1 egg

1 3/4 c buttermilk

Bake at 425

Mix all dry ingredients together.

Make a well in the center to add liquid.

Add liquid.

Mix but be sure to not over mix.

Form the dough into a circle about 2.5 in high.

Cut deep X into top.

Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Only keeps for a day or two so eat quickly!

I make this especially for the mister each March.
