Low Fat Irish Soda Bread
I love to have Irish Soda Bread for breakfast hot out of the oven with some low fat spread and a cup of tea. This is very easy to make, even if you have no experience baking. If you prefer to make a bread to serve with dinner, omit the raisins and sugar and you can add caraway seeds.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F°.
- Mix all dry ingredients (first 5) in a large bowl with a whisk.
- Slowly add buttermilk stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough is formed.
- Add raisins, knead the dough lightly on a floured surface for about 1 minute.
- Form into a round, slightly flattened shape. Place in a large bowl and cover, let it rest 30 minutes.
- Place on a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, make an X at the top about 1/2 inch deep. Bake about 40 minutes, until golden.
- To test if it's done, insert a toothpick into the bread, if it comes out clean it is done.
- Let it cool on a bakers rack for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
