Irish Soda Bread

Name: Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients: 3 cups flour, plus about 1 tbsp. for kneading and shaping; 3 tablespoons sugar; 4 teaspoons baking powder, preferably Rumford*; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 3/4 teaspoon table salt or fine sea salt; 9 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into chunks; 1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional); 1/2 cup golden raisins; 1/3 cup dried currants; About 1 1/8 cups buttermilk, divided

Our fruit-studded, gently sweet classic bread includes plenty of butter, and baking powder as well as soda for a lighter texture. We love the savory note of caraway, but for friends who aren’t fans, we make a second, caraway-free batch—more for us of the good stuff, we figure.
