Simple Irish Soda Bread
A traditional quick bread that uses baking soda for leavening instead of yeast, resulting in a dense, soft crumb and a wonderfully crusty exterior. This rustic loaf comes together in minutes and requires no kneading, making it a perfect accompaniment for soups, stews, or a simple slice with butter.

Use a fork or spatula to mix until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: A slightly sticky dough is perfect; overworking it will make the bread tough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round loaf, about 18cm (7 inches) in diameter.

Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and use a sharp knife to score a deep cross on top, cutting about 1cm (1/2 inch) deep.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Scoring allows heat to penetrate the center of the loaf so it bakes evenly.
