My Bisquick Irish Soda Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Add shortening and powdered milk to biscuit mix and cut in with 2 knives until mix is like coarse meal.
• Plump raisins or craisins in 3/4 cup water in microwave for a few seconds just short of boiling.
• Add sugar, and caraways seeds and plumped raisins or craisins along with the water to the flour mixture and stir until well blended.
• Spread with your hands in the bottom in a flour sprayed 9 inch pie plate.
• Bake in 375 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is mixed into the flour.
• With a fork, lightly beat the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest together in a measuring cup. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture. Combine the currants with 1 tablespoon of flour and mix into the dough. It will be very wet.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and knead it a few times into a round loaf. Place the loaf on the prepared sheet pan and lightly cut an X into the top of the bread with a serrated knife. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it will have a hollow sound.
• Cool on a baking rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cast iron skillet.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and sugar. Toss the raisins with the flour mixture until coated. Make a well in the center and add the egg, buttermilk, and melted margarine. Stir until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few quick turns just to even out the dough. Handle the dough as little as possible. Pat into a flat circle, and place into the prepared pan.
• Bake the bread for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with melted butter or spray with non-stick spray.
• Combine dry ingredients in a deep bowl. Gradually stir in 1 cup buttermilk, beating constantly, until dough is firm enough to be gathered into a ball. If dough crumbles, add up to 1/2 cup more buttermilk, 1 tbsp at a time, until it holds together.
• Place on a lightly floured board and pat into an 8-inch flattened round loaf.
• Place loaf on baking sheet and slash a 1/2-inch deep "X" into the top of the dough with a small, sharp knife.
• Bake at 425 degrees F for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Fold in raisins. , Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 times. Shape into a 7-in. round loaf; place on a greased baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut a 1/4-in.-deep cross on top of the loaf. , Bake at 375° for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Brush with additional butter. Cool. Dust with additional flour.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, caraway seeds, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until the mixture is well combined. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sour cream. Gently stir the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture until the dough just comes together; mix in raisins. Spoon the dough into the prepared springform pan.
• Bake until the bread has risen and the top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bread should come out clean. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before attempting to loosen the sides of the pan for removal. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease.
• Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
• With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl or 2 cup measure, mix buttermilk, honey & whiskey.
• Add all at once to dry mixture and stir just until no dry spots remain.
• Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead for 1 minute (too much will toughen and too little will inhibit rising).
• Divide dough in half and shape into round loaves.
• Place on cookie sheet. With a floured knife cut a cross 1/2 inch deep in each loaf.
• In small cup, combine whiskey and milk.
• Brush loaves with glaze.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottoms. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
• Cut into wedges or slices and serve warm.

Steps:

• Stir the milk and vinegar together, and allow to stand until curdled, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually stir the soured milk into the flour mixture until the dough just comes together, and turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Knead a few times, and shape into a round. Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut an X shape into the top of the dough to release steam and help the bread keep its round shape.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix together flour, soda, salt, and sugar.
• Add sour milk and stir together with a wooden spoon. The dough should be thick and sticky, but not too wet.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and form with hands into a round loaf. Place the loaf into a cast-iron frying pan or heavy round casserole dish that has been greased with butter. Score the top in the form of a cross with a wet knife (dig in at least an inch).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Bread should cool for an hour before serving (but I like to eat it while it's still warm!).
• Note: If the loaf is made with whole-meal wheat flour, it is known as brown bread; if made with unbleached white flour, it's Irish soda bread. Authentic Irish soda bread is made with sour milk, not buttermilk, or milk soured by adding vinegar or lemon juice. To sour milk, simply leave it out overnight.
