Caraway Soda Bread

Homemade soup is on the menu for dinner tonight and as always I'm digging through a stack of recipes for something to cook with it. Usually I go for my trustee baking powder biscuit recipe but tonight I was wanting something different.

This is a recipe my mom found a while ago, and nobody knows exactly where it came from so I can't give credit where it's needed.

I can say however that it's delicious and so easy to make!

Caraway Soda Bread Recipe:

• 2 cups flour, all purpose or bread flour + a little extra for kneading
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1tbsp caraway seeds
• 1 cup buttermilk 
• 2 tbsp melted butter

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and either line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it. 

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and caraway seeds. Using a rubber spatula add the buttermilk and melted butter to flour mixture, stir until just combined. 

The dough will be sticky and ragged looking. 

On a lightly floured surface knead the dough 6 times. Form into a round ball and put on prepared baking sheet. Cut an X in the top of dough. 

If desired you can dust the top of dough with flour. 

Cook at 375 for 30-35 minutes.
