Irish Soda Bread with Raisins and Caraway Seeds
A sweet quick bread dotted with caraway seeds and raisins.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. melted butter (for greasing the parchment)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1½ cups whole milk buttermilk
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (480g)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ cup light brown sugar, not packed (110)
- 4 tbsp. unsalted cold butter, cut in half inch cubes
- 1 cup dried raisins
- 1 tsp. caraway seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the melted butter all over it.
- In a measuring cup, mix together the egg and buttermilk. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together, the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in sugar. Using a pastry blender, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture, until the butter is blended into the flour mixture. Then, stir in the buttermilk and egg mixture. Also, stir in the raisins and caraway seeds. Dump the dough onto a floured board and shape it into an eight-inch circle.
- Place the dough on to the pan. Cut a small x on the top of the bread. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack for ten minutes, and then slice and serve warm.
