Top of the Mornin to ya and Happy St. Patrick’s Day my Friends and welcome to my Southern Kitchen! Today I am making the classic and traditional Bread of St. Patrick’s Day, Irish Soda Bread! Simple, easy, full of flavor, and the best part; no yeast, no proofing, and no rising! Everyone will love and enjoy this delicious Quick Bread! Perfect for Breakfast or a Snack. 4 cups bread flour 1/4 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 3/4 cups cold buttermilk 1 extra-large or jumbo egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon grated orange zest 1 cup dried cranberries Ellen’s Magic: You may substitute the Cranberries for regular or Golden Raisins or Currants. Preheat Oven to 375 Degrees Line a 9x13 inch cookie sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl or in a stand mixer with paddle attachment, add in the flour, sugar, baking soda, and kosher salt; whisk until well blended. Add in the butter and using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter in until it reaches the size of peas (If using a stand mixer, add in the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is mixed into the flour). In a measuring cup using a fork, lightly beat the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest together and stir to combine. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated (If using a stand mixer: with the mixer on low speed, slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture. Next combine the cranberries with 1 tablespoon of bread flour and mix it into the dough, it will be very wet. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and knead it a few times into a round loaf (be careful not to overmix). Place the bread loaf on the prepared cookie sheet and lightly cut an X into the top of the bread with a serrated knife. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it will have a hollow sound. Cool on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes. (Brush with some melted butter if desired). Serve warm or at room temperature with butter (if desired) and enjoy! Previous Video Southern Lemon Pound Cake: • Southern Lemon Pound Cake - How To Ma...
