baking powder

baking soda

salt

unsalted butter, (softened (1 stick))

sugar

whole buttermilk ((not low fat))

caraway seeds

raisins ((black and golden))

Turbinado sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray three standard 6-cup muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.

Fill a bowl with hot tap water. Place the raisins in the bowl to soak and plump.

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar, beating on high until light and fluffy. Approximately 3-5 minutes.&nbsp;Once the butter mixture is fluffy, beat in the egg and caraway seeds.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda,&nbsp;and salt.

Drain the raisins in a colander, tapping to remove all excess water.&nbsp;Scrape the bowl again. Then turn the mixer back on low and mix in the raisins.

Use a 3 tablespoon scoop to portion the batter into 18 muffin cups.&nbsp;Sprinkle the top of each muffin with Turbinado sugar.

Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of one muffin, comes out clean.&nbsp;Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then gently dump out the muffins.

This Irish-American Soda Bread takes just 5 minutes to make the dough with no kneading and no proofing needed. It has a soft and tender crumb with a texture that is similar to biscuits.

Irish Soda Bread Recipe

all-purpose flour (plus 1/4 cup more for dusting)

tsp sea salt

tsp baking soda

unsalted butter

buttermilk

raisins cranberries (optional)

Preheat oven at 375˚F. Generously grease a 10” cast-iron skillet with 1/2 Tbsp butter.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Cut butter into small pieces and use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until crumbs form stir in the raisins, breaking up any clumps of raisins. Make a well in the center.

In a large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and egg then add this mixture into the flour mixture. Use a wooden spoon and mix just until lightly moistened and dough barely starts to come together.

Transfer to a floured surface and use floured hands to shape the dough just until it forms into a round loaf. It should be shaggy. If it’s too sticky to handle, dust lightly with flour. Do not over-mix or bread will be tough.

Transfer to the buttered pan, use a knife to score the top with a large and deep “X”. Bake in the center of your preheated oven at 375 for 50-55min. When you tap on the bread, it should sound hollow inside. Transfer bread to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy within 2 days of making it and refrigerate leftovers up to a week.

This Irish Soda Bread is an easy quick bread recipe — made without yeast — to create a dense, crusty bread, that still has a soft tender inside, with sweet raisins tucked into each slice!

Easy Soda Bread

all-purpose flour (0.27)

tsp baking soda (0.01)

salt (0.06)

buttermilk* (0.32)

Set a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat it to 450°F. Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until they are fully incorporated.

Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and fill the well with the buttermilk.

Use a fork to incorporate the flour into the buttermilk little by little until a thick batter forms. Use your hands to incorporate the final bits of flour and gently shape the batter into a dough. Do not overwork the dough.

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and gently shape it into a round 6 inches in diameter and about 1 1/2 inches thick.

Place the dough in a Dutch oven or cast iron skillet. Use a sharp knife to cut a large x into the top of the dough.

Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F. Then lower the oven temperature to 400°F and continue baking until the bread is golden brown and crusty on the outside, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool.
