Irish Soda Bread (Gluten-Free)

Josefina Almond Yes
This Gluten-Free Irish Soda Bread is amazing! It's very easy to make, no yeast is required and it freezes very well. It's perfect as accompaniment soups, stews, a creamy risotto, or just as it is.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • ½ cup sorghum flour
  • ½ cup corn starch
  • ½ cup tapioca starch
  • 3 gr xantham gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ¼ cup buttermilk (300gr)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly grease a baking pan or cast-iron skillet. In this recipe was used, a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Whisk the buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, corn starch, tapioca starch, xantham gum, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small/medium bowl, mix the egg and the buttermilk with a hand whisk.
  • Stir the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. The dough is a bit sticky.
  • Place the dough into the prepared pan or into a baking sheet and end up with a disk.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until a firm crust has formed. Place the bread into a wire rack to cool.

Notes

Store the bread covered at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze it, it's better to slice it before freezing so you don't have to defrost the entire loaf.
