Simple Traditional Irish Soda Bread

  • Traditional Irish Soda Bread Recipe
    450g / 3 ¾ cups of Plain Flour
    350ml / 1 ½ cups of Buttermilk approx.
    ¾ tsp Baking Soda/Bicarbonate of Soda
    ¾ tsp of Salt
    You can go with 1 tsp of salt if you want. This was fine for me though
    This was baked at 220C/428F Conventional oven for 15 minutes then lowered to 180C/356F for a further 30 minutes.
    Fan oven 200C/392F then lowered to 160C/320F
    Alternatively you can just bake it at 200C/392F Conventional oven or 180C/356F Fan oven for about 45 minutes straight as I didn’t see a major difference
    Substitute: If you have no buttermilk add 2 tablespoons of vinegar to 350ml of milk. Let it stand for about 5 minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients. You can also use natural or Greek yoghurt. If Its too thick add a drop of water
    Some flours hydrate differently so you may need to add a drop more buttermilk. Aim for the consistency in the video
    All the best,
    Chris ☘️

      @@irishbakerabroad the final baked product tasted good to me, it just didn’t seem to mix as “wet” as I expected in the bowl when first combining. It was dry to the point where I couldn’t really shape a uniform ball, the dough had cracks that I couldn’t mould out of it once I was forming the loaf on a baking sheet. It’s my first crack at it so maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be? Either way it tasted fantastic with butter in my opinion and seemed as moist as it should have been.
