Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.  
  2. Place currants in a small bowl and top with water just covering the top. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before draining. Place on a paper towel to soak up the water.
  3. Sift the gluten free flour, sugar, soda, salt over a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in the caraway seeds (if using). 
  4. In a separate medium size mixing bowl, whisk the egg, butter, and buttermilk together.  Add the egg mix to the flour mixture with the currants, and stir together with a fork just until combined (be tender and don't over mix).
  5. Flour your hands and lightly knead the dough just until the dough comes together (no more than a couple of kneads). The dough should still be shaggy.  
  6. Divide the dough into two pieces and with your hands shape into round boules OR pat into one large round bread. Place on prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. With a sharp knife cut an "X" about an inch deep into the top of the loaf.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until browned on top and baked through.  Check for doneness by inserting a wooden skewer into the middle of the bread to test it.
  8. Cool on a baking rack before serving. Enjoy with Irish butter.
