Julia Child's Irish Soda Bread
4 cups unbleached flour
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons sea salt
4 cups unbleached flour
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons sea salt
You can knead this dough lightly after stirring together, or do what I do, just dump it all in the KitchenAid mixer using the dough hook. If you use a mixer, process until the dough just holds together, if you overmix the bread will turn out tough and chewy. Slash an X into the top of the loaf before it goes in the oven, neglecting to do this step will cause the bread to crack open while it's baking. 375 degrees, 50 minutes. Yum.
