Soda Bread: This bread, which many consider the Irish
soda bread, is usually served at high teas and other
important occasions.

Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking soda into a large
bowl. Stir in currants to coat with flour. Stir in
buttermilk just until flour is moistened. Knead dough
in bowl with lightly floured hands, 10 times. Turn
dough out onto lightly floured cookie sheet and shape
into an 8-inch round. Cut a cross into top with a
floured knife. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees), for 40
minutes, until loaf turns golden and gives a hollow
sound when tapped. Cool completely before slicing.
