I love St. Patrick's Day, it's kinda like thanksgiving but with less pie. This Irish girl is giving out her all time soda bread recipe (I'm eating it now with my coffee)
2 cups of white flour
2 cups of whole wheat flour
1/4 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of caraway seeds (secret ingredient)
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
1 egg
1 3/4 of buttermilk
1 cup of raisin
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, shifted the flour then whisk together the flours, sugar, caraway seed, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Beat the egg with a fork then add it to the flour mixture with buttermilk and raisins, beat for about a minute until mixed well.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and gently knead the dough into a round oval ball of love. Place the round on your prepared baking sheet and then, with a sharp knife, cut a 1/4 inch deep "X" across the top of the bread.
Bake for about 50 minutes or until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. This bread is wonderful when served warm with butter and jam.
