Traditional White Irish Soda Bread Recipe | Easy to make Soda Bread | #sharon

Preheat the oven to 230°C.

Sift white flour into a mixing bowl.

Add a level teaspoon of salt and bicarbon of soda to the flour and mix.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add buttermilk.

Mix the ingredients together using a claw-like action with your fingers, starting from the center and working outwards.

Once combined, wash your hands and sprinkle flour on your work surface.

Transfer the dough to the work surface, sprinkle more flour on top, and gather it together without kneading.

Shape the dough into a round loaf, about 1.5 to 2 inches thick.

Place the loaf on a baking tray and pat it down.

Cut a deep cross into the top of the bread with a sharp knife.

Poke a hole in each quarter of the cross.

Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes.

Check if the bread is ready by knocking on the bottom and listening for a hollow sound.

Slice the bread and serve with butter.
