Irish Soda Bread

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose unbleached flour
1 tsp. sea salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tbsp. Irish Whisky

Method:

1. Sift all of the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
2. Stir together the buttermilk and whiskey. Mix the liquid together with the flour mixture. The dough should be nice and light.
3. Turn the dough into a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan. If you do not have a tube pan, place the dough in a ball on a baking tray.
4. Bake at 375F for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when it is flicked with your fingers.
Serve with cold unsalted butter and freshly made preserves.
