TABLE Magazine loves Irish Soda Bread. Not only is it easy to make, but it’s great with just about any meal for St. Patrick’s Day or really any time of year. We recommend that you enjoy our Buttermilk Irish Soda Bread with Fennel Pollen over breakfast or brunch with butter, preserves, and coffee, or invite it to dinner with lamb stew or your favorite braised meat.
What is Irish Soda Bread?
St. Patrick’s Day is an Irish-American holiday much more than an Irish holiday, but people enjoy it all over the world and is a great way to learn more about Irish culinary traditions. With flour, salt, baking soda, buttermilk, and a hot oven as the only ingredients you need, this is a simple recipe made of things you probably already have in your kitchen. It doesn’t even require any yeast! Many Irish families have their own tips and tricks for making it, so ask a friend or call up your Auntie Bridget if you happen to be Irish yourself.
