Irish Brown Soda Bread traditionally has just four ingredients. This recipe includes a couple extra ingredients, giving it a little more flavor and a great texture.

Irish Brown Soda Bread

This recipe is inspired by this one from Simply Recipes. I add more salt — I find 2 teaspoons of salt for every 4 cups of flour to be about right. And instead of working 4 tablespoons of butter into the dough as you would for biscuits or scones, I use 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

This Irish soda bread still resembles a biscuit but has less of that biscuity/scone feel. If you want to use whole grain flour in your soda bread, use these ingredients, which are inspired by an America's Test Kitchen recipe, in place of the 4 cups all-purpose flour: 2 cups  all-purpose flour, 1½ cups  whole wheat flour, ½ cup  wheat germ.

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough is formed.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 30 seconds, just enough to bring the dough together. Be careful not to overwork the dough, or the bread may become tough.

Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Using a sharp knife, score a deep 'X' on the top of the loaf.

Bake the Irish Soda Bread for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crusty on the outside.

To check for doneness, tap the bottom of the loaf – it should sound hollow when it's ready.

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool before serving.
