IRISH SODA BREAD 'CAUSE I'M ALL ABOUT QUICK AND EASY!

I don't know about you but I am a anything bread foodie!!!!  That and pasta, but I tell you about that later!  I Love home baked bread, but some times I just don't have the time to make it!  Well here is the solution...It's quick and easy ( I know, I know...always quick and easy!) and very yummy!


Ingredients


  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup margarine, softened
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk

Directions


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

  1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.
  2. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 30 to 50 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter mixture while it bakes.
