I do have some caramel apples left from the weekend, and am offering fresh baked Irish soda bread in honor of St Patrick’s day!
Let me know if I can make any for you!
Fun facts about traditional soda bread:
The cross that is slashed into the dough before baking was made to ward off devils and protect the house.
During the mid-1800s, the Irish were making so much soda bread that baking soda almost doubled in price!
Soda bread was served as an inexpensive way to put bread on the table.
Authentic Irish soda bread should only contain 4 ingredients: flour, buttermilk, salt, and of course, baking soda.
