IRISH SODA BREAD 6 c. (1 1/2 lb.) flour 1/4 Tbsp. bicarbonate of soda 1/4 Tbsp. salt 1 c. (8 fluid oz.) buttermilk or sour milk The traditional recipe requires the use of buttermilk or sour milk, however, if fresh milk is used, one teaspoon of cream of tartar should be added to the dry ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients in a basin and make a well in the center. Stir in the milk vigorously. If necessary add more milk, but the mixture should not be too thin. On a floured board, flatten the dough into a circle approximately 1 1/2-inches thick. With a floured knife, make a cross in the dough. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes. Note: Brown Irish soda bread may be made this way, but using 1 pound whole wheat flour and 8 ounces plain white flour. A little more milk may be required to mix the dough.
