Irish-American Soda Bread


Channeling  Ina Garten The Barefoot Contessa

There are three recipes which I choose from every year for my Irish Soda Bread. Two  more traditional than my Ian's.  This year Ina's Irish soda bread was the one I felt like making.  Traditionally Irish soda bread has four ingredients flour,sugar,butter and baking soda.   Ina's soda bread has her famous turned up volume, adding buttermilk and grated orange peel plus my own additions of raisins and a small amount of currents.


ready for the oven .






Ready to begin....

Looking good---Smelling good...

Nice color and  height...
a hollow sound when bottom is tapped ...

Thanks Ina, another successful recipe...
moist and tasty with just a hint of orange flavor.
Maybe its not traditional but it is delicious..

Favorite way of enjoying this bread is the next day toasted

with Kerrygold butter imported from Ireland.
