Irish Soda Bread
3 1/2 c. flour
4 T. superfine sugar
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 1/2 c. milk + 2 T. vinegar
Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk-vinegar mixture. Using a fork, blend the ingredients. Dough will be extremely wet and sticky.
Turn out onto floured surface and "bring dough together" into a ball. Do not knead or over blend or bread will be tough. Even after "bringing dough together" with a little flour, it will remain very sticky.
Place on a cookie sheet. Cut a deep X across the top and bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
Bread will be moderately crusty on the outside, but very soft and slightly sweet on the inside.
