Traditional Irish soda bread made with simple ingredients like flour, buttermilk, baking soda, and salt.

Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it lightly for about 1 minute.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on a greased baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, score a deep cross on top of the loaf.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
