Vegan Irish soda bread with raisins isn’t necessarily traditional, but it is delicious! More accurately called spotted dog bread, this builds on the basic Irish soda bread recipe but adds a little sugar, fat, and raisins.
Add the oat milk mixture, stirring and forming a dough until just combined. Sprinkle a little flour over the top of the dough in the bowl, then flip the dough and sprinkle a little more flour on that side. The goal is to get just enough flour on the dough to make it workable, and then shape it somewhere between a disc and boule (slightly rounded ball). It should look like a circle with a slightly domed top.
Place the dough on the parchment-lined baking sheet. With a sharp knife, score the center of the dough with an X about ½-inch thick.
Bake at 400 degrees F for about 35-45 minutes, or until the bread is cooked through. When cooked through, it should have a hollow sound when tapped and a toothpick will pull out clean.
