Over the past few weeks I have been sharing some great recipes from Golden Blossom Honey to help you get ready for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday. To wrap up your holiday feast, today I've got a Traditional Irish Soda Bread recipe for you to check out.
There's nothing quite like ending your savory meal with a little sweetness. After you've had your fill of corned beef and cabbage, you'll want to tuck into a homemade Irish Soda Bread for a satisfying end to a hearty St. Patrick's Day dinner. I think it's best warm right out of the oven slathered in a lot of Kerrygold Irish butter (seriously, buy the Kerrygold, you won't regret it!) and drizzled with Golden Blossom Honey. You won't need any other dessert offerings as this recipe is a real treat in itself! You could make it ahead of time and store it in an airtight container, then just pop it back into the oven to warm up if you are short on time. I like to cook these types of breads in a cast iron skillet, but you could use a pie plate or cake pan if you don't have one on hand. Additionally, I always buy the Sunmaid baking raisins because they are more juicy than the other raisins and won't dry out as much in the oven. They do cost a little more, but it's so worth the upgrade when you have a baking recipe that calls for raisins.
Ingredients
Bread: 1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

I can't decide if all them oats and wheat flour would clog or unclog one's digestive freeways especially with raisins and caraway :)))
ReplyDeleteThe photos do look lovely as ever, dear.
I think the digestive tract will be fine unless you decide to eat huge chunks at a time lol. Though, I do have that problem when I break out the butter. I love me some Irish butter and will find any excuse to eat it.
DeleteCan you believe I've never had Irish Soda Bread? I should make some for sure. Although I do have 2 beers downstairs that no one in my house can drink - I may make Beer Bread to go with our meal to use them up. Someday I will make Irish Soda Bread I promise. It looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteI had it for the first time about 3 years ago. For me, I am not a huge fan of caraway seeds, so if you don't like them, I would suggest leaving them out. I can tolerate them in this recipe though because the honey overpowers their flavor a bit.
DeleteI like to make coconut beer shrimp when we have leftover beer, but your beer bread sounds good too, especially if you have a beer cheese dip to dip it in. Yum!
I've never made this but it sounds easy enough to make.
ReplyDeleteSoda bread is my favorite bread! I love the texture, and I love to eat it hot with just as much butter on top as it will hold. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have never had this before but it is wonderful that you shared the recipe! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteO yes I would love to have this at the end of my dinner.You know I can't survive without a little sweety delights before going to bed. These days I go for sugarless options.But would love to try this one instead 😊
ReplyDeleteWoah, this is another version of soda bread. I just read and copied the recipe of another soda bread recently.
ReplyDeleteNever had soda bread before, so I will have to try that recipe. It looks delicious and I am positive I am going to like it with lots of butter!
