Irish Soda Bread

I hate dealing with yeast bread, so back in college when I needed to make a whole bunch of bread fast I started making this delicious Irish Soda Bread. You can literally have a loaf done in an hour if you’ve got your ingredients together. I almost always use cranberries, but you can experiment with anything you want. 

Ingredients

4 c flour
2.5 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp sugar
dash salt
1 egg
2 c buttermilk
8oz cranberries

Prep

Pre-heat oven to 375°
Grease a standard cake plate or bread pan

Process

Mix all the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then mix them together into a dough, then mix in the cranberries. It’s admittedly much easier to mix the cranberries into the dry ingredients first, so if you’re lazy you can do that, just know that your cranberries will wind up with some flour in their nooks and crannies.

Plop the dough in the pan and bake for 50 minutes.
