High-rising and traditional
This easy King Arthur mix makes high-rising, traditional Irish (or richer American-style) soda bread, studded with sweet little dried currants.
- Bake in a soufflé pan, an 8” round cake pan or Dutch oven.
- Just add your own milk (or buttermilk) for traditional Irish bread.
- Change traditional Irish to American-style with the addition of sugar, butter, eggs, and caraway seeds.
- Makes one tall, round 8” loaf.
American Style Instructions:
contents of mix
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons caraway seeds, optional
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
Grease a tall, round soufflé pan (about 7" x 3½" tall), or an 8" round cake pan, cast iron skillet, or Dutch oven.
Whisk together the mix, sugar, and caraway seeds, if using.
Cut in the butter, mixing until crumbly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, and add to dry ingredients, mixing just until moistened.
Loosely shape into a round ball and place in the prepared pan. The dough will be soft. Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with flour, then use a knife to cut a cross into the top.
Bake 40 to 55 minutes (the longer time for the deeper pan), until crusty on top and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, and cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely. Let cool before slicing.
Yield: one loaf.

Better than my "from scratch". Soda bread should never be crumbly nor should it be a muffin. A big round loaf with an "x" on top. Loved it.

The very first time I have made this bread and it was perfect and all who ate it enjoyed it to the last crumb, even those who had been to Ireland and eaten the ones made there. I will always have a mix for Irish Soda Break in my cupboard.

Very satisfied, sent a loaf cross country and my Irsh friend raved about it. Note: I found the dough in the batches I made very wet. but it rose very nicely in a dutch ove

One of our local bakeries made great Soda Bread...until they closed. I tried King Arthur - American style, and like it even better!

Outstanding mix - I would buy all year long if it was available. Have tried both the traditional and American versions and love them both. Perfect with a bowl of piping hot potato soup!

My family and I love this mix! I just wish it wasn't only a seasonal item. I've looked for a recipe that is like it, but nothing seems to come close. Guess I'll have to stock up.

this is the first time I have ever been disappointed with a KAF mix. It was dry and got stale overnight. It was very difficult to shape and I would not repeat it.
I'm sorry you didn't like the mix. Give us a call and we'll try to make you happy. Molly@KAF
