A typical Irish soda quick bread made with buttermilk and rye flour. So delicious when warm just out of the oven with your favorite jam or cheese! Ingredients - • 2 1/3 cups rye flour • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (I just used 4 cups rye) • 1 3/4 tsp baking soda • 1 1/4 tsp fine-grain salt • 2 cups buttermilk (or a nut milk, soy, coconut milk + vinegar or lemon/lime juice) • 1/2 cup currants optional • 1/4 sesame seeds optional Instructions 1. 1. In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. 2. Make a well in the middle and pour in the buttermilk and mix in the currants (if you are using them). 3. Stir just long enough to form a dough, then turn out onto a clean and floured countertop (or pastry board)and knead/shape for no more than 30 seconds to form a ball. 4. Transfer the dough onto a floured baking sheet and flatten the top a little (so it’s closer to a tall disc than a round ball). 5. Brush with more buttermilk and sprinkle with about 2 Tablespoons of flour and sesame seeds (if you are using them). Cut 2-4 slashes in the dough. 6. Bake at 400 for 45-50 minutes, or until the top and bottom of the bread both sound hollow when tapped. 7. Cool on a rack.
