Cast Iron Jim's Irish Soda Bread

Good Morning Folks!

     Welcome to Cast Iron Jim's Blog on all things Cast Iron. Today I shall provide one of my favorite bread recipes. Irish Soda Bread is a heavy dense bread. Use this bread to soak up stew or gravy.

Cast Iron Jim's Irish Soda Bread

Ingredients

4 Cups All-purpose flour

1 cup Oats (meal)

4 tbs Sugar

1 tsp Baking Soda

1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt

4 tbs Cold Unsalted Butter cut into 1/2 inch bits

1 3/4 cup Cold Whole Milk

1 egg lightly beaten

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375F. Remember to place your cast iron skillet in the oven to allow it to heat up as well.

Combine ingredients and mix in a bowl.

Place dough on a cutting board which has been dusted with flour. Knead dough in to a round, flat loaf approximately 2 inches thick and 8 inches in diameter. 

Take the pre-heated skillet out of the stove and oil with some coconut oil.

Score an x into the top after placing into the skillet.

Bake for 45 minutes.
