This brilliant four-ingredient Irish soda bread recipe will see you through winter | The Irish Post

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220°C.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk together.

Step 3

Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in buttermilk. Mix together (using hands is the best way to do this) until just combined. Do not overwork or knead the dough. Texture should be slightly crumbly but just sticking together.

Step 4

Form into a ball and place on a cast iron skillet, greased baking sheet or dutch oven. Make an "X" in the dough with a knife, about an inch deep.

Step 5

Bake for 40 minutes or until outside is browned.
