<font color="limegreen">Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread

Submitted by: MP Welty Makes 1 1 1/2 pound loaf

&quot; A good old fashioned soda bread with just the basic ingredients. Buttermilk gives this crusty loaf a good flavor. The best Irish soda bread around! &quot;

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 50 Minutes

Ready in: 1 Hour 5 Minutes

4 cups all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons white sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup margarine, softened

1 cup buttermilk

1 egg

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup buttermilk

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

2 In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.

3 Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 30 to 50 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter mixture while it bakes.

Irish Brown Soda Bread

Submitted by: Andrea Doyle Makes 4 - 10 ounce loaves

&quot; Having seen all the recipes purporting to be 'Irish Soda Bread' I felt that I needed to send you the real Irish recipe for this wonderful bread. It never has currants or caraway seeds and is the simplest recipe ever. Because it must only be handled very lightly, it can never be made in a bread machine. &quot;

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 45 Minutes

Ready in: 55 Minutes

4 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup bread flour

1/3 cup rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 cups buttermilk

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.

2 In a large bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, white flour, rolled oats, baking soda and salt. Gently mix in the buttermilk until a soft dough is formed. Knead very lightly. Divide dough into 4 pieces; form into rounded flat loaves. Mark each loaf with an 'X' and place on prepared baking sheets.

3 Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 to 45 minutes.
