MRS. O'CALLAGHAN'S SODA BREAD




Tonight, we made an Irish soda bread. This bread is simple but dense. It definitely requires some strength. It is one of the faster breads to make because of the simple ingredients and the amount of time to bake it. When we baked this, we had to knead the dough for 10 turns or so to mix the ingredients. If you want to follow along with us, here's the recipe:

  • A baking pan
  • non stick spray
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup chilled margarine or butter
  • and 2 cups of buttermilk

Stir until the dough has come together then knead for about 10 turns or so. Do not forget to preheat oven oven to 425 degrees F. Then lay out the dough into the baking pan with the nonstick spray. Put the dough into the oven for about 40 to 50 minutes.
