Re: Do You Ever Make Soda Bread?
Hi Art, made it three or four times now. Especially if I am not on a diet. Only problem is that I just cannot seem to make it as delicious as my lovely late Irish mum used to make it. Either that or my taste buds have diminished with age.Re: Do You Ever Make Soda Bread?
Yes ruthio, when it comes out of the oven, give your soda bread a tap on the bottom part of the Bread, if it sounds nice and hollow, it's done to perfection. She really should have mentioned that, no doubt that's what she was checking when she took it out of the oven. Oh, I almost forgot, when making my version and adding the fruit (which I usually soak in orange juice before hand for an hour to soften the currents and raisins, then discard the orange juice) I also add a heaped teaspoon of sugar to the mix, it just makes it a little bit sweeter as a fruit Soda Bread. Of course, don''t add sugar if making an ordinary Soda Bread without the fruit.Re: Do You Ever Make Soda Bread?
Aha - the wonderful Darina Allen - 'tis her recipe that I use as well - and the Kerrygold on it while it is still warm.
