Irish Soda Bread ~ by Mary Ellis
3 Cups White Self Raising Flour
5 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
3 -4 Cups Buttermilk (approx)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
Sift flour, salt and baking soda into large bowl and mix by lifting gently with hands.
Make a well in the center and slowly add milk, stirring with a knife until all the milk is added. The mixture should be soft and rather wet. Add flour if necessary to dry outside.
Use hands to shape dough into round and cut in two.
Make two round cakes and kneed lightly - DO NOT over kneed
Sprinkle flour on baking sheet to prevent sticking and place two cakes on baking sheet.
Cut cross on each cake.
Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 45 mins to 1 hour. check to see if done by sticking knife in center - if it comes out clean it's done - if its sticky, it needs more time.
Cool on wire rack upside down.
If you just want White Soda bread, only use white self raising flour.
Slainte!
