Irish Soda Bread

Found another recipe on Facebook.  Had to Google the recipe. 

Ingredients:

500g self-raising flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

400ml buttermilk/1 2/3 cups (add a little extra if needed)

1 tbsp honey

Stuff you will need

Bread pan

Parchment paper 

Mixing bowl

Mixing spoon

Sharp knife

Directions:

Prepare the Oven and Tin: Preheat to 180°C/350°F (fan). Line your 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda, ensuring the baking soda is evenly mixed.

Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center, pour in the buttermilk, and add honey. Gently mix with a spoon until a soft dough forms. (Be careful not to overmix – this keeps it light and fluffy!)

Shape & Place in Tin: Shape the dough into a rough loaf and place it in your lined tin. Make a shallow line down the center of the loaf for even baking (knife).

Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. (A clean skewer in the center means it’s done!)

Cool & Serve: Let it cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully. Slice and enjoy with butter and jam!
