Irish Soda Bread for St. Patrick's Day

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
sugars, granulated
salt, table
leavening agents, baking soda
milk, buttermilk, fluid, cultured, lowfat

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
Make a well in the center.
Pour most of the milk in all at once.
Using one hand, mix in the flour from the sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary.
The dough should be soft, but not too wet and sticky.
When it all comes together, gather the dough onto a floured surface and form into a round loaf about 1 1/2-inches thick and cut a deep cross on top and over the sides.
Transfer to a baking sheet.
Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake 45 minutes, or until cooked though.
If you are in doubt, tap the bottom of the bread.
If it sounds hollow, it's done.
