Irish Soda Bread with Caraway Seeds

Irish Soda Bread with Caraway Seeds

This delicious quick bread got its name from the use of baking soda as a leavening agent instead of yeast. With subtle sweet flavors from brown sugar and currants mixed with the savory kick from the caraway seeds, you'll have a hard time keeping this bread around for very long.

4 cups AP flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp kosher salt
2 Tbs Spicewalla Caraway Seeds
4 Tbs (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 cup dried currants (raisins or cranberries can be used as well)
