Martha Stewart’s Irish Soda Bread | Martha Bakes Recipes | Martha Stewart

Add 1 and 1/3 cups whole milk to a bowl and mix in 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar to curdle the milk.

In a big bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Whisk together.

Cut 4 tablespoons of cold butter into quarter-inch cubes and add to the dry ingredients.

Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.

Add 1 cup of dark raisins and 1/4 cup of caraway seeds to the mixture and stir.

Pour in the curdled milk mixture and stir until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

On a lightly floured surface, form the dough into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Dust the top with flour and cut a large X in the surface of the bread.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Let the bread cool on a rack before slicing.
