Irish soda bread celebrates this quick-and-easy heartiness: here's a raisin-and-caraway studded loaf with no fuss and big taste. Baking soda was the boon to home-bakers in the late eighteenth century. No more yeast!
Ingredients
1% low fat buttermilk
¾ cup(s)
Canola oil
2 Tbsp
All-purpose flour
1 cup(s)
Whole wheat flour
1 cup(s)
Golden seedless raisins
⅓ cup(s)
Caraway seeds
4 tsp
Baking soda
1 tsp
Baking powder
½ tsp
Table salt
½ tsp
Cooking spray
1 spray(s)
All-purpose flour
1 tsp
Instructions
1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F.
2
Whisk the buttermilk and oil in a medium bowl; set aside.
3
Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, the whole-wheat flour, raisins, caraway seeds, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the buttermilk mixture with a wooden spoon until thoroughly moistened.
4
Dust a clean, dry work surface with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour. Turn the dough out onto work surface and knead for 30 seconds, just until it coheres. Shape into a round loaf about 6 inches in diameter and 1 inch high. Use a sharp knife or a new razor blade to cut an "x" about 1/2 inch deep in the top of the loaf.
5
Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray, place the loaf on it, and bake until lightly browned and crusty, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.
