1845 was the discovery year for Irish Soda Bread - if your recipe has rasins or currents - technically  it's railway bread or spotted dog - not to be confused with spotted dick.   This recipe come from our family in Country Tyrone - Enjoy!

The best flour to use is a "soft wheat" it's know in US as pastry  or cake flour. ..

Also, you can make this Gluten Free using GF all purpose flour. 

To make this VEGAN friendly - use soured milk (SOY/NUT Milks add 1 TBS of lemon juice)

 

White Soda Bread

4 cups (16 oz) of all purpose flour.
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon salt
14 oz of buttermilk

 

Method:

Preheat the oven to 425 F. degrees.  Lightly crease and flour a cake pan.

In a large bowl sieve and combine all the dry ingredients.

Add the buttermilk to form a sticky dough.

Shape into a round flat shape in a round oiled cast iron pan and cut a cross in the top of the dough.

Bake for 30 minutes   Lower temperature to 350 degrees  and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

The bottom of the bread will have a hollow sound when tapped so show it is done.

Cover the bread in a tea towel and lightly sprinkle water on the cloth to keep the bread moist.
