How to Make Applesauce Irish Soda Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease an 8-inch round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, applesauce, and softened margarine. Mix until well combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. If using raisins, gently knead them into the dough.
  7. Pat or gently roll the dough into a 7-inch round.
  8. Place the dough in the prepared pan.
  9. Using a sharp knife, cut a 1/4-inch deep cross into the top of the dough.
  10. Brush the top of the dough with milk.
  11. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  13. Invert the bread onto a wire rack.
  14. Turn right side up and let cool completely before slicing into 16 wedges.
