Irish Soda Bread by gfJules

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup+ 2 Tbs. buttermilk or non-dairy or dairy milk with 1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar added
  • 2 cup (270 gr) gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tbs. granulated sugar (omit if making savory)
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbs. butter or non-dairy alternative (Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks)
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 egg white or egg substitute like 2 Tbs. vegan mayo
  • 1 cup seedless raisins (optional)
  • ½ Tbs. caraway seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or vegan cheddar (optional)
  • 1-1 Tbs. fresh rosemary (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F.

If not using buttermilk, mix milk with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Set aside to curdle.

Blend together gfJules Flour, sugar (if using), baking powder and salt.

Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two butter knives until the mixture resembles a pebbly, course meal.

Add baking soda to milk mixture, then stir into dry mix with egg white and additions (raisins; seeds; cheese; herbs, etc).

Mix with a fork or paddle mixing attachment until integrated.

Scoop dough onto a floured (with gfJules Flour) counter or pastry mat and roll into ball then transfer to a lightly oiled and floured (with gfJules Flour) 7-inch glass bowl or 6-8 inch cake pan.

If needed, wet a rubber spatula with water and smooth the top of the ball of dough.

Sprinkle lightly with gfJules Flour, then make a cross in the top with a large knife.

Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Checked out Two Cafe and Boutique today and came away with an Americano and a fresh made Organic Egg Scramble with gf toast!

Check out their site for the full menu. You’ll see consideration made for allergens but be advised that this is not a dedicated gluten free establishment. That being said, they were very knowledgeable and considerate to my questions.

They also have available prepackaged baked goods from a dedicated gf kitchen in Chagrin Falls, OH.
