<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">If you are looking for an authentic Irish experience, try this recipe from the Society for the Preservation of Irish Soda Bread. This simple and delicious recipe has been used for generations.</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">Believe it or not all recipes for traditional soda bread contain only four ingredients. Flour, baking soda, sour milk (buttermilk) and salt. That's it!!!</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">This mainstay didn't keep long so it had to be baked every few days. Irish Soda Bread does not contain </span>whisky<span style="color: #000000;"> or other liquors or enhancements like raisins, caraway or candied fruit, thereby making it a staple food item rather than a treat. If the recipe you have used in the past contains any of these items, it is not the traditional soda bread that has eaten by the Irish since the mid-19th century.</span></h3>

<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Traditional Soda Bread </span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">INGREDIENTS</span></p>
<span style="color: #000000;">4 Cups (16 oz.) of all-purpose flour</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">1 Teaspoon baking soda</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">1 Teaspoon salt</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">14 Ounces of buttermilk</span>[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1519146789416{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}"]<span style="color: #000000;">INSTRUCTIONS</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">Preheat the oven to 425</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Lightly grease and flour a cake pan.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">In a large bowl sift and combine all the dry ingredients.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Add the buttermilk to form a sticky dough.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Place on floured surface and lightly knead.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Form into a round flat shape in a round cake pan and cut </span>a cross<span style="color: #000000;"> in the top of the dough.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Cover the pan with another pan of the same size and bake for 30 minutes.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Remove cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">The bottom of the bread will have a hollow sound when tapped to show it is done.</span>
<span style="color: #000000;">Cover the bread in a tea towel and lightly sprinkle water on the cloth to keep the bread moist.</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">Fun Fact: Covering the bread with a pan of equal size replicates the bastible pot, a flat-bottomed pot that was the primary cooking tool in Irish kitchens in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.</span>[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="15px"]
