Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons white sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup margarine, softened (I would use butter)

1 cup buttermilk

1 egg

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine.

Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and the egg.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly.

Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk.

Brush loaf with the mixture.

Use a sharp knife to cut an X into the top of the loaf.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes OR until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

**In the recipe there is a comma after the word clean (above) which then reads about 30 to 50 minutes. I've no clue what that means. You have been forewarned!

You may continue to brush the bread with the butter mixture during baking.

I'm confused about the buttermilk. Do I need 1 cup added to the bread and 1/4 cup for the topping? Sorry, I'm recipe illiterate and am constantly convinced I'm making mistakes.

Great looking recipe! I look forward to trying it :)

Erin, I need to thank you so much for catching my error in the ingredients list for this bread! Yes, you need 1 cup of the buttermilk in the dough and the 1/4 cup to coat the bread loaf. Not so recipe illiterate after all! Many thanks, my friend.

This is what I've been looking for - no raisins, and no caraway seeds! Was planning on making this for St. Pat's, as my mother in law loves it; just waiting to find the perfect recipe. I believe this is it! High 5, and a big thank you!

I'm glad you found it here, debbie! Yes, this one sure is the plainest soda bread around. I like that also because then YOU get to add whatever might be pleasing to you and not have to be stuck with what someone ELSE wants. I thank you for your five and here's hoping both you and your mother-in-law enjoy it!
