Traditional Irish soda bread Makes a loaf of bread 1 ¾ cups buttermilk 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 4 cups flour (pasta, cake or all purpose)
Combine the butter, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add enough flour to make a sticky dough. On a floured surface, knead lightly. Form into a round flat shape to fit into a greased (or cast iron skillet or Dutch oven), cover lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Using a sharp knife, serrated, cut a cross on top of the dough. Cover with another pan (or pot lid) and bake 30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Remove lid and bake another 10 minutes or until golden brown. Very closely to make sure the top of the bread does not get too dark. If it is browning too quickly, cover with foil. The bread sounds hollow when done. Cool on a baking rack. Cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep moisture of bread.
