Soda Bread Buns Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons sugar and 3/4 teaspoon each baking soda and kosher salt in a bowl. Work in 2 tablespoons diced cold butter by hand. Add 1/2 cup raisins and 1 tablespoon caraway seeds. Mix in 3/4 cup buttermilk. Pat out the dough until 1 inch thick; cut into four to six 2 1/2-inch rounds. Bake at 375 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Check for doneness after 30 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter mixture while it bakes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
• 2. In a large bowl, whisk flours, sugar, baking soda and salt. With fingers or pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins and caraway seeds. Pour buttermilk over top, and stir with fork until mixture holds together. If necessary, add more buttermilk, a little at a time.
• 3. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead about 20 times or until smooth. With lightly floured hands, shape into 10 balls. Place in pan. With small, sharp knife, cut an X on top of each ball.
• 4. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and let cool on wire rack. Makes 10 buns.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and currants. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.
• Turn out to a floured board and knead a few times, forming dough into a large flattened ball. Cut into 8 wedges and then form each wedge into a small ball.
• Place dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Cut an "X" in the tops of the dough balls with scissors. Brush with butter and bake in center of oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until browned.
