How to Make Different Irish Soda Bread
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the buttermilk, beer, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined – a few lumps are okay!
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round loaf.
- Place the loaf in the prepared baking pan.
- Cut a deep cross (about 1 inch deep) into the top of the loaf.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
