World's Best IRISH SODA BREAD RECIPE 𑗅 Sweet, Moist, & Simple!

Combine 4 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 4 teaspoons of salt in a bowl.

Push the dry ingredients to the side to make space for the liquid ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1 and 1/3 cups of buttermilk, and 1/3 cup of melted and cooled butter.

Pour the liquid ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients.

Stir the mixture until it forms a shaggy dough, using your hands to mix if necessary to avoid flour pockets.

Add in dried cranberries and mix them into the dough until evenly dispersed.

Grease a 9-inch cast iron pan with butter, or use a 9-inch round cake pan or a buttered baking sheet.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in the prepared pan, wetting your fingers to prevent sticking.

Cut a cross on top of the dough with a sharp knife, wetting the knife to avoid sticking.

Bake in the oven for about 50 to 55 minutes for all-purpose flour, or 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes for gluten-free flour.
