How can I make Irish Soda breads?

Question

The old fasion way

Answer 1

Here's a recipe that I am NOT copy & pasting from anywhere...it's my very own. It's a little non-traditional (yogurt is subtituted for the usual buttermilk), but I think it's awesome.

-3 cups all-purpose flour
-1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
-1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
-2 eggs
-2 teaspoons baking powder
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-(optional) 1/2 cup raisins, soaked in water for 15 minutes, then drained

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt and sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved, and no lumps of sugar remain. Add the eggs, and stir to combine.
Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and (if you're using them) raisins. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly combine the ingredients. The dough will be about the consistency of peanut butter.

Pour the dough into an oven-safe, heavy cooking pot which has a tight-fitting lid. A 3-quart pot is perfect. Bake at 350, WITH THE LID ON, for 20 minutes. Then, after 20 minutes, remove the lid, and use the tip of a knife to slice a small "X" in the very center of the top of the loaf. Return the pot to the oven (with the lid OFF). Bake for another 40 minutes.
The top of the bread should be a deep, golden brown. Allow the loaf to cool inside the pot for about 15 minutes, then carefully turn the pan over. The loaf should fall out easily.

--I make mine WITH the raisins. Smear some cream cheese on it, and it's incredible.
