Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour -- Unbleached, (418g)
1/4 cup sugar -- (50g)
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup fennel seeds -- whole, (18g)
1 cup currants -- dried, or golden raisins, (142g)
1 large egg -- at room temp
2 cups buttermilk -- at room temp, (454g)
This bread is simple to put together, and a staple in the bread
baskets at Ariel's Restaurant in Brookfield, VT. It has an unusual
but enticing hint of fennel, and is loaded with bursts of sweetness
from the currants or golden raisins within.
PREP: 20 mins
BAKE: 50 to 55 mins
TOTAL: 1:10
YIELD: one 10" round loaf
SERVING SIZE: 30g
Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter and flour, or spray with pan spray,
a 10" round cake pan, 10" springform pan, or a 2-quart round casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking
powder, and baking soda. Mix in the fennel seeds and currants or raisins.
Whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients and
stir just until combined. Don't over-mix; the batter will be quite stiff.
Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake the bread for about 50
minutes, until it's golden brown. Remove it from the oven, and place
it on a rack to cool for 15 minutes before tipping it out of the pan
onto a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips: A mixture of half golden raisins and half currants makes a nice
presentation.
For the more traditional Wholemeal Limerick Soda Bread, substitute 3
cups (330g) Irish-Style Flour for the all-purpose flour in the
recipe. For best results let the batter rest in the pan for 15
minutes before baking, to soften the flour's bran.
