Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • cups buttermilk
  • 1 rounded tablespoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • 1 cup raisins or currants (optional)
  • 1 egg yolk for brushing the top.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt and whisk together well. Stir in buttermilk until dough forms. Add caraway and/or raisins or currants and mix throughly.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead dough about 30 seconds. Dough will be sticky so just use enough flour to coat your hands. Shape into round loaf.
  • Place dough on an ungreased baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper. With a serrated knife, cut a 1/2” X into the top.
  • Lightly beat egg yolk and brush over the dough.
  • Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Transfer from pan to rack and let cool.
  • Serve warm with butter and Corned Beef and Cabbage.
