IRISH SODA BREAD






INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 cups all purpose flour (plus 1 cup additional for kneading)

  • 4 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 tablespoon cold butter, cubed

  • 1/4 cup Blood Orange Olive Oil

  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

  • 1 egg

  • 1 cup raisins

  • 1 cup Black Currant Balsamic Vinegar

  • Sugar, for sprinkling


DIRECTIONS:


Place raisins with Black Currant Balsamic Vinegar in a bowl and let soak for at least one hour.


Combine all dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the cubed butter and Blood Orange Olive Oil. Mix with your hands, breaking the butter up into tiny pieces, until fully incorporated.


In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture and the drained raisins to the flour mixture.


On a floured surface, knead the dough with your hands, adding additional flour as needed, into the shape of a round loaf.


Place dough on a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper. Cut and 'X' into the top of the loaf. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the loaf. The loaf should sound hollow when you tap it. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
