With St. Patrick’s Day fast approaching, it’s time to make some Irish soda bread. Perfect to serve with a hot bowl of ham & three bean soup. This recipe is a variation of one from my friend’s (Irish) grandmother. I whipped up some fresh butter serve with along with it.
Irish Soda Bread with Fresh Whipped Butter
Ingredients:
4 cups of Irish flour or cake flour, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. fresh ground sea salt, 1 3/4 c. buttermilk or stout
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease and flour two round cake pans and set aside. In a large bowl combine dry ingredients. Stir in buttermilk to form dough. Place on floured surface and lightly knead dough. Shape into a flattened ball and place in round cake pan. Using a knife, cut across the top. Cover the pan with the remaining pan and bake for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Keep bread wrapped in a towel and lightly mist towel with water to keep moist.

Sounds lovely. We’ve whipped up some of our own and will be having the leftovers with homemade marmalade in the morning.
Yum! We’re having some in the morning too…
Your loaf looks nice. I’d never covered mine before (probably because I made it when I was a poor Master’s student with only one tray!) so I’ll have to try it. Yum yum.
It makes quite a lovely shape… Next time I may try larger pie dishes…
…and my recipe has oats in it…
Then it’s oatmeal bread…

Tonight I am trying this recipe! Wish me luck. The last time I made bread it was horrible.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
