Irish Soda Bread..!

:thumb:...Nice one Marley.

 

I want to try baking some soda bread after watching 'The Hungry Sailors'
on ITV yesterday.
It looked very easy but I couldn't remember the ingredients.

So looked up the recipe you had posted Marley - didn't realise it was
September 2008 but here it is! Brilliant!

Thanks for bumping that one Jjordie, not seen that, will give it a go.

How you been doing by the way, not seen you on much recently?

 

Not doing anything special Ziggy,except looking after OH which takes a lot of my time.

I do manage to look around GC quite often.

BTW - are you down-under ?

 

Caring is a major thing, can sympathise there.

Hanging upside down to amuse the members in times of lack of gardening, should have done it to raise money for GC in retrospect:DOH:

 

Marley, Will it work if I use white wine vinegar ?

you can use buttermilk instead of sour milk

 

Nice to see an authentic recipe for Soda bread. My mother's generation were all expert at making soda bread - out of necessity - as there were no supermarkets - and the nearest shop was often several miles walking distance - if you were a rural dweller.

My mother and my aunts were all total fundamentalists when it came to making soda bread and I can recall them almost throwing things at the tv when some cookery programme suggested the addition of orange zest or sultanas to the standard ingredients of flour, salt, bread soda and sour milk. I remember how wonderful their bread tasted so they were probably correct about it not needing any extra embellishments.

My first attempt at soda bread.
Looks a bit rustic and was a bit solid but was lovely eaten with butter and cheese
when still warm. Second piece with butter and apricot jam was good too! :D​

Well its making me hungry Jjordie, looking good

 

Soda bread is good & very easy to make too .

 

Had a second try at soda bread today and it was good but still
a bit solid. Is it meant to be like that or am I doing something wrong?
