Another Irish Soda Bread Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

6 cups	375g / 13oz	Flour
1 teaspoon	5ml	Baking soda
3/4 cup	148g / 5.2oz	Sugar
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Raisins
3 teaspoons	15ml	Baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Salt
		Caraway seeds to taste
4 cups	948ml	Buttermilk

Recipe Instructions

Mix all the dry ingredients in a LARGE bowl.  Mix in caraway and raisins.  Mix in buttermilk.  It helps to use your hands to mix this because the dough is stickey DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC MIXER. I did this a couple of times and the bread came out very flat.

Divide batter into two buttered cake pans.  Flour a knife and cut a cross into the tops of each. Bake at 350 for about an hour.  The top should not be allowed to get to brown.
