Nana Dot's Irish Bread
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup currants
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, ensure your baking sheets are adequately lubricated with a non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking during the baking process.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Blend these components together until they are uniformly incorporated.
4
Using a pastry blender or your hands, incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until you achieve a coarse texture similar to cornmeal.
5
Mix in the dried fruits of raisins, currants, and caraway seeds into the dough.
6
Create a central depression in the mixture and pour in the liquid ingredients of milk and vinegar. Combine these components using a spoon until they form a cohesive dough.
7
Transfer the dough to a lightly dusted work surface and gently knead it 8-10 times. Divide the dough into two portions, and shape each portion into a ball.
8
Place these balls onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are aligned and evenly spaced.
9
Bake the bread in a preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 190 degrees Celsius. Continue baking until the top of the bread is golden brown, approximately 15 minutes thereafter.
