Irish Soda Bread Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• Add ingredients in order suggested by your manufacturer. Select fruit bread or basic bread setting. Add raisins when indicated by your manufacturer.

Steps:

• Combine according to your manufacturer's directions.
• Success Hints: Golden raisins give this bread its light flavor and look.
• Dark raisins may be subsituted but will make a darker, slightly heavier loaf.
• The sugar in the raisins creates a darker crust; use your machine's"light crust setting" if it has one.
• Dried butter milk can generally be found in the baking goods section of your supermarket.
• If you can't find buttermilk, regular dried milk can be substituted.
• If using delayed time bake, place raisins atop dry ingredients away from liquid.
• This recipe can be made using the regular, rapid and delayed time bake cycles.

Steps:

• Process all ingredients in your bread machine set on the dough cycle.
• Remove from bread machine, punch down, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Prepare a baking sheet (I cover it with parchment paper). Punch the dough down, and shape it into an 8-inch circle, slightly flattened. Cover with wax paper, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Slash the top of the dough with a large X. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 and continue to bake for 15 more minutes.
• Don't forget leftovers, if any, are great for sandwiches.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in bread pan, select Light Crust setting, and press Start.
• After the baking cycle ends, remove bread from pan, place on cake rack, and allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.
