"This comes from Feast magazine S.B.S. Australia. Traditionally this is a classic Irish pudding that is made dried fruit, this version is a different take on Irish soda bread. This is very nice served warm with butter."

Original is 2 logs servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Step 2

Combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, sultanas and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl. Make a well and gradually add in the buttermilk. Using your hands, gently mix until mixture just comes together; do not knead dough or the bread won’t rise.

Step 3

Form the dough into 2 x 18 cm logs, place into two greased 22 cm x 11 cm loaf pans and, using a small knife, make a 3 cm-deep cut down the center of each loaf & scatter with some extra flour.

Step 4

Bake logs for 45 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover with a tea towel and stand for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Serve warm or toasted, with butter.

Step 6

NOTE: Store leftovers in a brown paper bag for up to 2 days.

Anyone who may fear to make or eat this recipe, don’t worry, it won’t affect your health in any way! It turned out to be a lovely Irish soda bread that was absolutely wonderful shmeared with butter. I did combine the ingredients very gently to not work up the gluten, and I didn’t shape it into a log (I forgot to cut the 3-cm deep cuts, too). However, it turned out moist, tender, speckled with the sweetness of the raisins and dried cranberries which I also opted to add. My family and I are so glad this recipe was tried. Thank you, Tisme, for sharing.
