Skillet Irish Soda Bread

Posted on by
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar granulated
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp caraway seeds
  • 1 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted, melted
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Grease a skillet with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the caraway seeds and the raisins.
  3. In a smaller bowl whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon. Dust your hands with a little bit of flour and knead the dough, either in the bowl if it’s large enough, or over your floured work surface. Knead it gently just until you can form a rough ball. Do not over knead the dough.
  4. Place the dough in the skillet and score the top in an X shape and about an inch in depth, to help cook the center.

  5. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour.
