Irish Soda Bread

4 cups of all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons of white sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of softened margarine
1 cup of buttermilk
1 egg
1/4 cup of melted butter
1/4 cup of buttermilk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees; lightly grease a large baking sheet.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine.

Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and add the egg.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on a perpared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup of buttermilk: brush the loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an �X� into the top of the loaf.

Bake in a preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until bread sounds hollow when picked up and patted on the underside of the loaf.
