Equipment

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
Dash of Salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg room temperature
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup of butter melted

Topping

3 tablespoons buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

Start by pouring 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot and set the trivet on top.
Now in a bowl add your all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, a dash of salt and baking powder. Give it a quick stir to incorporate the dry ingredients.
Next, you will add in your egg and buttermilk. Give it a gentle stir, to create a wet mixture for your soda bread.
Then pour in your 1/2 cup butter to the wet ingredients and mix.
Toss out on a floured counter and knead gently till it is incorporated. Form the Irish soda bread dough into a bowl.
Place the dough in the pan with a parchment-lined bottom.
Take a butter knife and cut an X in the bread dough.
Lightly cover the soda bread dough with aluminum foil and then sit in your sling and put in your Instant Pot.
Cook for 45 minutes high pressure, with your instant pot, sealed. Once it is finished, allow it to natural release for 15 minutes.
Quick-release the remaining pressure and then remove your bread carefully.
Remove the aluminum foil and then use your air fryer lid to toast or place in the oven with high broil to toast up the top of the soda bread.
Slice and serve with butter, jam, or any other way.
This is an easy Irish soda bread recipe you will enjoy making in your pressure cooker.
