This non traditional Irish Soda bread has been a classic in my non Irish family for many years! It is moist and full of sweet raisins. Perfect for breakfast slathered in creamy butter.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 4 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 cup Raisins
  • 16 oz Full Fat Sour Cream
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
  • Grease and flour two loaf pans or one large cast iron skillet. Make sure to grease and flour them well so the bread does not stick.
  • Mix all the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Mix on low for 2-3 minutes until the dough comes together. The dough will be very wet and sticky.
  • Pour the dough into the two prepared loaf pans or cast iron skillet. Bake for one hour or until a knife is inserted into the middle and comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before cutting.

Notes

  • Irish Soda Bread will last in a Ziploc bag for about a week, or frozen in a Ziploc bag for up to three months.
  • You can make this recipe in two loaf pans or one large cast iron skillet.
