Traditional Irish Soda Bread Recipe (+)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350Âº F.

In a large bowl, mix together baking soda, salt, and baking powder.

In a small bowl, whisk together milk, butter, honey and egg. Stir liquid ingredients into flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Dough should hold a formed shape--if not, gradually add a little flour until you can shape the dough into a mound 6" around.

Place dough on baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper. Spray parchment paper with cooking oil. Take a sharp knife and make an X on the top of dough.

Bake 45 minutes, or until the bottom sounds hollow when thumped.

Cool slightly before serving.

Best eaten the day it is made. Serve with butter and honey.
