irish brown bread
Real Irish soda bread is a very simple quick bread. It doesn't have raisins or eggs, this is known as railroad bread. This is a variation on real soda bread passed down in my family for over a century. The wheat flour in this makes this a brown bread, NOT soda bread. This recipe has won ribbons for its tastiness.

How To Make irish brown bread
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 425.
-
Step 2Sieve and combine all dry ingredients. Rub in butter by hand until flour is crumbly.
-
Step 3Mix in the buttermilk. The dough will be sticky. Add more buttermilk as needed.
-
Step 4Knead on a lightly floured board. Be careful not to over work the dough. Flatten the dough ball out. Place on a greased and lightly floured cookie sheet. Cut a cross into the top of the dough.
-
Step 5Bake at 425 for 45 minutes. You will know the bread is done when you tap the bottom of the bread and it sounds hollow. Serve with butter.
-
Step 6STORAGE: This is just as important as baking. Place the bread in a tea towel, wrap it entirely and sprinkle water on top of the cloth.
