Irish Soda Bread
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 9 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric measurements).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by coating it with a thin layer of grease. This will ensure that your bread releases easily from the pan once it's baked.
3
Meanwhile, combine the dry ingredients - that is to say, flour, baking powder, baking soda, 9 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt - in the mixing bowl attached to your large stand mixer. Set the machine to low speed and blend these ingredients until they form a cohesive mixture.
4
Now, incorporate the butter into your dough by blending it thoroughly with the dry ingredients. This will help to create a smooth and even texture.
5
Proceed to add the milk, eggs, and raisins to your dough in sequence. Be sure to mix each ingredient well before introducing the next, ensuring a uniform blend.
6
Once you've incorporated all of your ingredients, transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle it with an additional 1 tablespoon of sugar.
7
Place your dough in the preheated oven and bake until it has risen to its full potential and the top is a golden brown hue. This should take approximately 45 minutes, or until you notice that a toothpick inserted into the center of your bread comes out clean.
8
Finally, remove your bread from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Best served warm, this bread is sure to be a delightful treat.
