Easy Peasy


Easy Peasy

You could probably make this Irish Soda Bread recipe with one hand tied behind your back, while merrily whistling “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.”  All it takes is four simple ingredients, flour, soda, salt, buttermilk, and a handful of raisins or currents if you are so inclined.  I had Craisins on hand so I threw in about ¾ of a cup. 

So, bake this bread.
Bake it for a friend.
Bake it for a potluck.
Bake it with your kids.
Bake it on soup night.
Bake it for your neighbor.
Bake it for your co-workers.
Bake it for your in-laws.
You get the picture. 
Bake it.
Slather it with butter, jam or both and enjoy.


Here’s a few close ups.






Go to Tuesdays With Dorie/ baking with Julia for the recipe.  Better yet, buy Baking With Julia.

  9. That whistling thing might be harder for some of us, I have never mastered it. However, next time I make the bread I will tie an arm behind my back and try to whistle, just to test your theory. :) Your loaf looks beautiful!
