Last Sunday , I woke up and all of a sudden I had this urge to try out something new ! I'd noted down this recipe for Irish Soda bread
by Ina Garten few weeks back and was tempted to try it ever since.
So why wait , I thought and set off to make it.(but I made some modifications as usual to suit our requirements)
It came out pretty good I must say and also served it to few friends who said it tasted good.
Its so simple and easy to make , will definitely make it again.
You should also try it.
Ingredients
- All purpose flour - 3cups
- Baking soda - 1tsp
- Baking powder - 1tbsp (optional)
- Sugar - 1/2 cup
- Egg - 1
- Buttermilk - 1.5 cups
- Butter - 1/2 stick
- Orange extract ( or Orange zest) - 1/2 tsp
- Cranberries - 2 cups ( or as per your choice)
- Salt - 1/2 tsp
Directions
- Preheat Oven to 375F
- Whisk together the dry ingredients: All purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Break the butter into cubes and mix it well into the dry ingredients forming a coarse texture.
- Beat together the egg with the buttermilk and mix it slowly into the dry ingredients and blend it all together with a blender making a smooth and lightly wet and sticky dough.
- Add the cranberries and orange extract/zest and mix well.
- Lighlty flour your working surface and place the dough on it, add more flour over the dough and mildly knead the dough until smooth.(Do not over knead).
- Lightly brush the top of the dough with little melted butter to give a nice brown crust.
- Place the dough on a baking sheet and make an X shaped cut in the centre of the dough (this allows the dough to rise and spread well) and place it on the middle rack of your oven.
- Bake for 40-45 mins until a toothpick inserted into the dough comes out clean and also the loaf should sound hollow when tapped.
- Remove and place it on a cooling rack for 15-20mins
- Cut the loaf into slices and serve warm with butter. Also goes well with red wine.
- Suggestions: You may add dried fruits, nuts, carom seeds or even olives in the batter or even make chive butter biscuits with the same batter by dividing the batter into smaller portions for the biscuits. ( you can adjust the amount of sugar as per your wish)
