The Perfect Companion for Rich Flavors
When it comes to pairing with rich foods like eggs or braised beef, you need a bread that can hold its own. That’s where this yeast-free Irish bread comes in – its dense texture and tangy flavor make it the ideal match.
A Snap to Prepare
This bread is incredibly easy to make, requiring only 5 minutes of active time and no yeast to worry about. Simply combine whole-wheat and all-purpose flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, then add in buttermilk and melted butter. Mix until the dough comes together, then knead until it forms a smooth ball.
Shaping and Baking
Work the dough into a flat round, about 7 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick. Place it on a lightly floured baking sheet and use a sharp knife to slice an “X” across the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F to 200°F.
Cooling and Serving
Once baked, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely. This is crucial, as slicing the bread too soon can cause it to crumble or fall apart. After 2 hours, your bread is ready to be sliced and served alongside your favorite rich dishes.
