JEAN'S IRISH SODA BREAD
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp caraway seeds (opt)
3 Tbsp butter
2/3-3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup currants or raisins
Milk for brushing
Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and caraway in a food processor or a large bowl. Cut butter into flour until mixture resembled coarse meal. Add up to 3/4 cup buttermilk to make a soft but not sticky dough. Add raisins, knead dough until smooth, about 1 minute. Shape into a 5" disc and put in a baking pan. Cut a 1/4" deep cross in the top. Brush top with milk. Bake until golden, about 35 minutes at 375 degrees.

I have never made Irish Soda Bread. I will be back tomorrow. ;)
Thank you for this recipe Jean. My husband is Irish, so I'll definitely try this.
A while back I commented that I made the Tuna Burgers and they were delicious. Well there was one burger left, and the next day my husband and I split it right out of the fridge. It was even better cold. I think that this week I'll make a double batch so we can eat the first day burgers hot, and the second day ones cold. ~Doreen

Hi Doreen,
I will give Jean your comments. I haven't made the Tuna Burgers, yet. I will have to try them both hot and cold.

Hi Marilyn,
Please thank Jean for this Irish Bread recipe. I am Irish and have attempted to make this bread without success (always too dry). I will definitely try Jean's recipe - I especially liked the 1/4 inch cross in the middle in keeping with Irish/Catholic tradition!!
Hi Maureen,
I will thank Jean for you. I am also, Irish. My Mom use to make Irish bread, but I never tried it. I like the cross on the top, too.

Thank you for the lovely recipe Jean especially nice with St Patricks day coming up next week
I have made Soda bread before but it was a very plain recipe-I love the idea of adding the carraway seeds and fruit
