One of the easiest breads you'll ever make - Stephanie Hansen's Irish Soda Bread

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Measure 3 cups of flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the flour and mix well.

Cut cold butter into small chunks and add to the flour mixture.

Using a fork, press down on the butter chunks until they are the size of peas.

Pour in 2 cups of buttermilk and stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Do not worry if the dough does not come together completely; just form it into a loose ball.

Lightly knead the dough a tiny bit to shape it into a rough ball.

Place the dough into a baking vessel lined with parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife or a lathe, cut an X into the top of the dough.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
