If you're looking for an easy Irish soda bread recipe for St. Patrick's Day, or a quick homemade bread, this step-by-step guide from Emily’s Heirloom Kitchen is exactly what you need.

Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar (I use 1/3 cup for extra sweetness)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
6 Tbsp cold salted butter, diced (plus more for pan)
1 cup golden raisins (I use 1 cup regular raisins in video)
1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional variation)
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups buttermilk

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3. Work cold butter into dry ingredients with pastry blender or fingers until small bits remain.
4. Stir in raisins and cranberries.
5. Make a well in the center. Whisk egg and buttermilk together, then pour into well.
6. Stir gently until dough forms — it will be shaggy with some dry bits.
7. Turn dough onto floured surface, knead gently 4–5 times until it comes together.
8. Form into a 7-inch round loaf (about 1 ¾ inches tall). Place in skillet.
9. Cut a deep X (1 inch deep, 6 ½ inches long) on top with floured knife.
10. Bake 50–55 minutes until golden brown and toothpick in center comes out clean. Tent with foil after 35–40 minutes if top darkens too quickly.
11. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then transfer to rack. Cool 10 more minutes before slicing.
