Irish Soda Bread Recipe Easy Knead with Bread Machine

There is nothing better than the smell of fresh bread baking in your kitchen. And you can have this wonderful smell with homemade bread all year long. If you are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day try this easy Irish Soda Bread recipe where all the kneading is done in your bread machine. 

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon of Salt
  • 3 tablespoons of Sugar
  • 5 tablespoons of cold Butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 and 1/2 cups of Butter Milk
  • 1 t0 2 teaspoons Caraway Seeds
  • (optional 1 cup of raisins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  2. In a large bowl sift 4 and 1/4 cups of flour. Combine flour with baking soda, and sugar. 
  3. Cut the butter into small squares and add to the flour mixture. 
  4. Using a pastry cutter cut in the butter to the flour mixture. 
  5. Add the flour mixture to the pan of the bread machine and add the butter milk and caraway seeds. 
  6. Set the bread machine on a quick bread cycle and let the bread machine knead the dough for no more than 10 minutes. 
  7. On a floured surface form the dough into a round loaf and set it into the cast iron skillet. 
  8. Bake at 400° F for 45 to 50 minutes until the bread is at an internal temperature of 195°F, and to top is golden brown.
  9. Remove the bread and allow it to cool to room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking. 

Notes

  1. You do not have to use the bread machine but knead by hand. I have found that using the bread machine to lead on the quick bread cycle makes a smooth dough and makes a nicer loaf.
  2. Do not use the dough cycle as it kneads too long. 
  3. I have tried several traditional Irish Soda Bread Recipe but found that this one was best for using the bread machine, Inspired by, “Grandma’s Irish Soda Bread”
