Steps:

• 2. In a small bowl beat eggs and stir in sour cream. Add the egg and sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon. Batter will be very thick. Add the raisins and caraway seeds and stir well with wooden spoon or knead in with your hands. Place batter in a greased 9 inch springform pan.
• 3. Dust the top with enough flour so that you can pat the batter like a bread dough evenly in the pan without it sticking to your hands. With a knife make a shallow crisscross on the top. Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven.

IRISH SODA BREAD WITH SOUR CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Combine 4 cups of flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl
• Add the butter and use two knives to cut the butter down to blend it with the dry ingredients.
• Create a well in the center of the flour and add the buttermilk, sour cream, and egg. Stir until just combined (don't overmix)
• Fold in the raisins.
• Transfer the dough into a sprayed 8-inch baking pan or a cast iron skillet
• Sprinkle the remaining ½ tablespoon of flour over the top of the bread and spread it with your hands. Cut a deep X in the dough.
• Bake for 50 minutes. Let the bread cool for 15 minutes before serving.

IRISH SODA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C and dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Pour in the buttermilk and mix it in quickly with a table knife, then bring the dough together very lightly with your fingertips (handle it very, very gently). Now shape it into a flat, round loaf measuring 20cm/8in in diameter.
• Put the loaf on the baking sheet and score a deep cross in the top. (Traditionally, this lets the fairies out, but it also helps the bread to cook through.) Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. If it isn't ready after this time, turn it upside down on the baking sheet and bake for a few minutes more.
• Transfer to a wire rack, cover with a clean tea towel (this keeps the crust nice and soft) and leave to cool. To serve, break into quarters, then break or cut each quarter in half to make 8 wedges or slices - or simply slice across. Eat very fresh.

IRISH SODA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl with a fork.
• Pour in milk slowly and stir until dough is sticky.
• Sprinkle counter top with flour. Knead dough lightly on counter top 10 to 15 seconds ONLY. Too much will make the bread heavy.
• Grease bottom and sides of corning ware or bread pan and place dough in middle.
• Slice with and "X" across top of dough.
• Place lid on top or cover with another pan. Foil works in a pinch.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove lid (or any cover from pan) and bake an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven.
• FOR BEST RESULTS! Place a damp paper towel over the bread when cooling. Some say cover with a tea towel and sprinkle water over the top. I am not into using my tea towels, AKA dish towels, for bread covering. What I do is take two paper towels folded over one another, soak them, wring them out, place the folded towels in a single layer over the bread with a pan holder over that until cooled.
• Slice, enjoy!

TRADITIONAL IRISH SODA BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with melted butter or spray with non-stick spray.
• Combine dry ingredients in a deep bowl. Gradually stir in 1 cup buttermilk, beating constantly, until dough is firm enough to be gathered into a ball. If dough crumbles, add up to 1/2 cup more buttermilk, 1 tbsp at a time, until it holds together.
• Place on a lightly floured board and pat into an 8-inch flattened round loaf.
• Place loaf on baking sheet and slash a 1/2-inch deep "X" into the top of the dough with a small, sharp knife.
• Bake at 425 degrees F for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden.
• Serve hot.
