irish soda bread recipe

When it comes to breakfast (or lunch) (or dinner) on St. Patrick’s Day, I like to whip up a quick traditional soda bread. But as soon as I get the dough together, I go all non-traditional on it. I cut the dough into wedges…as they make the perfect portion…before baking it.

As a child, wearing green and avoiding getting pinched were all I ever thought about when March 17 rolled around. I thought it was pretty cool to see my name on the bulletin boards or classroom doors. “Erin Go Bragh!”  It made the eight-year-old me feel special!

As I got older and learned more about the holiday and the traditions of Ireland, I came to appreciate the corned beef and cabbage and a traditional Irish stew, and eventually the traditional Irish soda bread. I’ve made it a number of ways, but these wedges are my favorite!

It’s a traditional recipe, made in a non-traditional way…enjoy!

    I have never made Irish Soda bread but this looks so easy. I will be whipping up this for St. Patrick’s Day for sure.

    Erin, have you tried doing this dairy free with milk alternative and vinegar subbed for the buttermilk?

    Could you substitute heavy whipping cream for the buttermilk?
