This week, I’m dedicating my blog to everything Irish! With St. Patrick’s Day coming up this weekend, I decided to get a little jump-start on the holiday by testing out some new recipes. First up is Irish Soda Bread!
Soda bread is a variety of quick bread that uses a leavening agent (baking soda) instead of yeast. Traditional soda bread is very simple and made with only four ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. But it can also include other ingredients, such as currants/raisins, citrus, and nuts.
This week’s blog posts (3 of them!) all lead up to an absolutely divine dessert, so I went with a traditional, plain recipe. But check back tomorrow to find out what I’ve been scheming! The Irish Soda Bread can also be also be eaten on its own or as a side-dish for corned beef or a hearty Irish stew. I’m planning to bake up some more for this weekend’s dinner!
