This recipe is inspired by this one from Simply Recipes. I add more salt — I find 2 teaspoons of salt for every 4 cups of flour to be about right. And instead of working 4 tablespoons of butter into the dough as you would for biscuits or scones, I use 2 tablespoons of melted butter. This Irish soda bread still resembles a biscuit but has less of that biscuity/scone feel. If you want to use whole grain flour in your soda bread, use these ingredients, which are inspired by an America's Test Kitchen recipe, in place of the 4 cups all-purpose flour: 2 cups (256 g) all-purpose flour 1½ cups (192 g) whole wheat flour ½ cup (55 g) wheat germ
