I have tried a lot of soda bread recipes over the years for St Patrick's Day but this one by far was my favorite. It was a very simple recipe with an interesting method. Turns out it was the recipe I've been searching for. And even warmed up nicely the next day... :)
4 cups flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425.
Mix dry ingredients together and then mix in buttermilk until all the flour mixture is wet. Be careful not to overmix or your bread will be tough.
Gently knead on lightly floured surface.
Place in greased and floured round cake pan (8 or 9"). Cut cross on top with sharp knife. Cover with second round cake pan of same size, lining up the edges of the two pans. Place carefully into oven.
Bake for 30 minutes. Then remove top pan and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until dark golden brown and sounds hollow when bottom is tapped.
Remove from pan and let cool a bit on wire rack. Serve warm with or without butter.
