This is a good recipe for Irish soda bread. I like its well rounded flavour from the buttermilk and coriander. Since I like to use this bread for sopping up the juices in a stew, individual rolls are the shape of choice for me - you also get more of the delicious crust than with bigger loaves.
You will need:
1250g / 2.75lb all purpose flour
12.5ml / 2.5tsp kosher salt
37.5ml / 7.5tsp baking powder
12.5ml / 2.5tsp baking soda
156ml / 2/3C sugar
2.5ml / 1/2tsp coriander
150g / 5.3oz (2/3C) unsalted butter
3 eggs
780ml / 3.3C buttermilk
as needed milk
Method:
- set the oven to 350F / 177C
- mix the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and coriander in a bowl
- cut in the butter until you have a coarse crumb
- beat the eggs slightly, then whisk with the buttermilk
- add the wet mix to the dry and stir to combine
- once the dough has started to come together, transfer it to a floured counter and knead smooth
- cut the dough into equal amounts and roll your buns
- place the buns on a paper lined tray and brush with milk
- bake at 350F / 177C for about 12 minutes until golden brown (a larger loaf will take longer)
- cool on a rack slightly and serve warm
