This is my favorit Irish soda bread recipe because there are no caraway seeds and raisens. I got this recipe from Marhta StewartLiving Magazine back in 2003. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! My kids love it with Irish butter warm from the oven. I will be baking this along with "Shamrock" sugar cookies today. Another favorit of ours that I will be preparing today is my Grandma's coleslaw recipe - her kids didn't like cooked cabage so she made that instead and it is awesome.
Ingredients
Serves 4 to 6
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup whole-wheat graham flour
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 2/3 cups buttermilk
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl. With a pastry blender or your fingertips, blend in butter until it resembles small peas. Add buttermilk all at once; stir with a fork until mixture holds together.
In the bowl, pat the dough into a domeshaped loaf about 7 inches in diameter. Lift out dough; transfer to lined sheet.
Lightly dust top of loaf with flour. Cut a 3/4-inch-deep cross in top, reaching almost all the way to edges. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until deep golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Namaste.

Hey Mickey,
Did you get a chance to try this recipe? I made some the other day and it also tastes great toasted with tea a day or two later! I hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day - I did!
Thank God Christ is always present, he sets a great example to us to remain present too!
Have a great weekend - are you watching any March Madness? We are I love college basketball - they play for the true love of the game and they play with all their hearts that's why I find it so much fun to watch!
Namaste,
Joan
