Ingredients:

  • Scant 2/3 cup (165 ml) lactose-free whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 2/3 cups (241 g) low FODMAP gluten-free all-purpose flour, such as Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder; use gluten-free if following a gluten-free diet
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (83 g) raisins
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature, well beaten
  • ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted

Preparation:

  1. Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Combine the milk and lemon juice and allow to sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
  3. Whisk together the flour, sugar, caraway seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt to aerate and combine in a mixing bowl. Toss in the raisins.
  4. Stir in the egg with a large silicone spatula then start dribbling in the soured milk and melted butter. Keep stirring until the dough comes together, making sure there are no pockets of flour left behind.
  5. Scrape dough into a large round pile onto the prepared pan. Dampen hands and shape it into a flat round, about 6 to 7-inches (15 cm to 17 cm) across. Use a serrated bladed knife to slash the loaf in a deep crisscross on top of the loaf, extending to the edges.
  6. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the loaf is lightly browned and sounds hollow when you tap the bottom. Cool pan on rack for 5 minutes, then transfer loaf directly to rack to cool further. Irish soda bread can be served warm or at room temperature and is best served the day it is made.

Tips

  • This version of Irish Soda Bread, containing butter, is richer and therefore also lasts a bit longer than our classic version. Choose this one if you need to make a day ahead.
