Irish Soda Bread

Ingredients for Irish Soda Bread

• 500g cake flour

• 1 cucharada de bicarbonato de sodio

• 100g sugar

• 1/4 cucharadita de sal

• 40g vegetable shortening

• 140g dark raisins

• 1 cucharada de semillas de alcaravea

• 240ml cold milk

Preheat the oven to 204°C. Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.

Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, and salt together into a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.

Add the raisins, caraway seeds, and milk. Mix the dough until just combined; avoid overmixing as this will cause the dough to toughen.

Turn the dough into a lightly floured surface. Press the dough into a ball. Form the dough into two equal loaves, or cut into sixteen equal pieces to make rolls. Dust with flour and lightly score an "X" across the top of each roll or loaf with a sharp knife.

Bake the soda bread until it is lightly browned and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, about eight to ten minutes for rolls and twenty-five minutes for loaves. Wrap the bread in a tea towel directly out of the oven. Cool the soda bread in the tea towel on a wire rack before serving. It can be held at room temperature for up to two days or frozen for up to four weeks.
