The Roasted Root

Gluten-free Irish soda bread made just like the classic. A rustic yeast-free bread recipe

Ingredients

4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (+ more for dusting)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon caraway seeds

1 cup raisins or currants (rinsed in hot water and patted dry)

2 1/4 cups buttermilk

Method

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a large baking sheet using olive oil or cooking spray. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Add the raisins and caraway seeds and stir well to combine. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.

Pour the buttermilk into the well.

Stir the buttermilk into the flour mixture, starting in the center and working your way to the outside of the bowl until a dough forms. If needed, add additional buttermilk (2 tablespoons at a time) to form the dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead for 1 minute. Form a large disc out of the dough.

Cut the dough in half with a knife and with floured hands, form two small discs out of the dough.

Using a serrated knife, cut a 1/4-inch deep X into each disc of dough.

Place both discs of dough on the lightly-oiled baking sheet. Be sure to place the discs far apart, as they will rise while baking.

Bake for 45 to 65 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and bread tests clean when poked with a knife. Remove from the oven and allow bread to cool at least 20 minutes.

Place Irish Soda Bread on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut slices 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Slather with butter/and or jam and enjoy alongside your favorite entree!
