Baking with House of Bread

Irish Soda Bread, bring a little luck to the table on St. Patrick's Day


Listen Later

The luck of the Irish, wasn't about their cuisine but rather the propensity for miners of Irish decent during the gold rush to strike it rich.  At House of Bread, we added our "lucky" ingredients to Irish Soda Bread to make one feel lucky to enjoy.   Traditional Irish Soda Bread is made with flour, baking soda, soured milk, and salt-that's edible but just doesn't taste very good.   At House of Bread, we took tradition and added, butter, buttermilk, raisins, caraway seeds for a full bounty of delicious flavor.   This recipe will yield two loaves.2 ½ cups of white all purpose or pastry flour (can use gold whole wheat for Irish Brown Soda Bread)3 Tablespoons of granulated sugar1 tsp of baking soda1 tsp of baking powder1 tsp of salt1 tsp of caraway seeds (optional)Measure out dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix them thoroughly together.¼ cup of cold butterCube butter into small pieces and cut into dry ingredients with fingertips until it resembles pea size crumbles. Add in raisins and mix together:1/2 cup of golden raisins (may substitute regular raisins or currants)In large pitcher or use well method.1 cup of buttermilk. Can not substitute milk, well you can but you have to add a T lemon juice. The acid found in buttermilk reacts to bases — most commonly baking soda — creating carbon dioxide gas. 2 eggsWhisk the egg/buttermilk together and then add in your dry ingredients. Using your hands, mix until flour holds together like a biscuit or scone dough, not a cookie dough. Cut dough into two equal parts.  Place on well sprayed cookie sheet and cut a cross shape on top. Egg wash the top, by scrambling one egg and brushing it on top. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes at 350 degree oven.Happy Baking everyone!  If you wish to learn more about the scone method of baking that is used to make Irish Soda Bread, then here is a link to the muffin/scone baking class.  Baking Class – Quick Breads, Muffins and Scones – House of Bread   For more information about House of Bread, please visit www.houseofbread.com.
