- Serves
- 1 round loaf
- Cook
- 400°F, 30-40 min
- Cuisine
- Irish
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 1-2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups warm water, room temperature
- 2 tsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp melted butter
Steps
- In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine the water and vinegar. While stirring, add the mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Turn out onto a floured surface. Knead 2-3 min. Shape into a flat round disk, no more than 1 1/2 inches high. Place on a baking sheet. Using a sharp knife dipped in flour, cut an X or # into the top.
- Bake at 400°F for 30-40 min, or until golden brown and the crust is firm. If desired, brush with egg and milk halfway through baking.
- Remove from the oven when done and brush with melted butter.
Notes
- Card notes: “Make sure done in middle — it’s a very dense bread.”
- This recipe spans two cards (p. 167, continued on p. 168 marked “(over)”) — merged here into one file rather than split across two.
- One word before “butter” in the final step was crossed out on the card and is illegible.
