Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Add the brown sugar and mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Stir in the chopped parsley, basil, and thyme. Ensure that the herbs are evenly mixed throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
- Stir the mixture using a wooden spoon or a spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should just come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round loaf. Avoid excessive handling to keep the bread tender.
- Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, gently score a cross on the top of the dough. This helps the bread to expand and bake evenly during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- You can also use a toothpick or a skewer inserted into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Herbed Soda Bread with butter, soups, or stews!
Tips:
- Make sure your herbs are fresh to ensure the best flavor.
- Don't over-mix the dough to keep the bread tender.
- Preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
- You can substitute other herbs to suit your taste.
- For a crunchier crust, bake the bread on a preheated baking stone.
In just a few simple steps, you’ve created a fragrant and flavorful herbed soda bread that is sure to impress. Enjoy it warm from the oven with a pat of butter or alongside your favorite meal. With its delightful blend of herbs and simple preparation, this bread is a wonderful addition to any meal.
