Mom's Irish Soda Bread


Irish Soda Bread

4 Cups flour
1 1/3 to 1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt                                                        
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon soda
1 ½ cups currants

Sift dry ingredients into bowl.  Make a hollow in the center and pour in 1 cup of the buttermilk.  Mix and add enough more buttermilk to make a firm but not dry dough.  Add the currants and mix well.  Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly.  Shape into two round loaves and cut across the top both ways (+) so that it will not crack. (I put all the dry ingredients into a Kitchen-aid mixer and then add the buttermilk.  Mix well and then add the currants that way I don’t have to knead the bread.  Then I shape it into two loaves).  Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes.
