Irish Soda Bread

Submitted by Stacey Hutchings

Prep Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
10 servings
per slice: Cal. 219; Pro. 6 g; Sod. 330 mg; Carb. 30 g; Chol. 41 mg

3 Cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 tsp. whole caraway seeds
6 T butter
1 1/4 C plus 1 T buttermilk
1 egg

Heat oven to 350. Combine flour, soda, salt, baking powder and 1 tsp of caraway seeds. Cut in butter until it is the size of peas. Stire in 1 1/4 C of the buttermilk until ingredients are well-moistened. Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Form dough into a ball and put on an ungreased baking sheet. Beat egg with remaining 1 T buttermilk and brush dough with some of this glaze. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp. seeds. Cut a 1/4 inch deep cross in the top. Bake until golden, about 1 hour 15 minutes. After 1 hour, brush with more glaze. Cool completely before servings.
