Easy Irish Soda Bread From A Sweet Old Irish Lass (aka My Mother In Law)

Whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Cut in 1/4 cup of salted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse meal.

Add 2 cups of buttermilk and 1 egg to the mixture and mix until combined, forming a shaggy dough.

Flour a board and knead the dough until it comes together.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan with butter and press the dough into the corners of the pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

Let the bread cool in the pan for about an hour before slicing.
