For lovers of Irish Soda Bread
Kelly Browne alerted me to this great post on the internet. John Giuffo reminisces about Irish soda bread and shares his favourite recipe.
>>>>>>>>
I remember a time when every woman had her own individual way of making her bread. In the days when shop bread was a rarity, housewives baked bread every day. There was no weighing scales used and every ingredient was measured in handfuls and pinches. It was a joy to visit a neighbour and be treated to a cut of newly baked bread spread with real butter and homemade jam. My mouth is watering at the memory.
John Giuffo’s Listowel great grandmother passed on a version of soda bread I have not before encountered, but I’m willing to give it a try. I’ll keep you posted on results but, as John says, it’s easy to make but also easy to mess up. There’s chemistry involved!
