Low Fat Irish Soda Bread Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl with a whisk.

Slowly add buttermilk, stirring with a wooden spoon, until a soft dough is formed.

Add raisins, knead the dough lightly on a sheet of wax paper or a floured surface for about 1 minute.

Form into a round, slightly flattened shape.

Place on a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife, make an X at the top about ½ inch deep. Bake for about 40 minutes, until golden.

To test if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the bread, if it comes out clean it is done.

Let it cool on a bakers rack for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
