Shabbat Soda Bread
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- Optional:
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup caraway seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. If you’re adding raisins or caraway seeds, you can mix them in at this stage.
- Gradually pour in the buttermilk while stirring the mixture. The dough should come together and be slightly sticky.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it for a minute until it forms a ball. Avoid over-kneading, as this can make the bread tough.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it onto the greased baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to score a shallow “X” on top of the loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
