Irish Bread Recipes

A very easy, very good tasting bread.

Soda bread is simple to make. It does not need to rise and it takes less than 5 minutes to knead. This soda bread recipe came from County Cork in Ireland by way of my great grandfather’s cousin.

I haven't made this yet so I don't know how big or small 12 servings will be. It seemed like a good starting point.

An old Irish favorite embellished with currents and walnuts, with no sugar or white flour. So good and so good for you! This could be made with less butter. This version has 3 WW points per serving. (Three round loaves, 8 slices per loaf)

Traditional Irish Bread with Raisins

I love making soda bread. It's so damn hearty and filling and most importantly, it reminds me of my Grandma. The only issue is that soda bread tends to be extremely caloric and once you slather Irish butter all over it any and all hopes of it being a healthy table bread option go out the window.

So, I created this healthier version of my Grandma's brown bread recipe. And, as a bonus, it's vegan!

Very cake like on the inside. It will become very addicting.

This is my mom's recipe. We make it every year for St. Pat's day

I had no idea what I was going to get. Really had to force myself to stop eating. Definitely worth a try if you like to experiment.

Yummy and quick.

Traditional Irish Soda Bread consists of only four ingredients: flour, buttermilk, baking soda and salt. You can even leave out the salt, if you like.

I have been told that it actually works best with a soft wheat flour, such as cake or pastry flour but I haven't tried that yet.

Extra quick and easy "Irish Soda Bread". The original recipe came from Cooks.com but I reworked it to make it more diet friendly.
I used a mixture of orange flavored dried cranberries (Craisins) and Golden Raisins that I plump before adding to the flour mixture.

Original recipe calls for 2 cups raisins but that seemed like a little too much. Nutritional information is based off of 1.5 cups raisins but if you like raisins feel free to add more!

Low fat quick bread, eaten with stew or soup. Better the second day than the first. Use fresh dill and freshly grated lemons. Quick to make. Given to me by my LITTLESTSIS.

A great bread, more cakish in its consistency

All recipes for traditional soda bread contain flour, baking soda, sour milk (buttermilk) and salt. That's it!

This was a daily bread that didn't keep long and had to be baked every few days. It was not a festive "cake" and did not contain whisky, candied fruit, caraway seeds, raisins (add raisins and it becomes "spotted dog" not to be confused with the pudding made with suet of the same name), or any other ingredient.

Recipe originated from Bon Appetit but I first cut down on the sugar using .75 cup sugar; then used .5 cup sugar and .25 honey; sucralose and honey, and sometimes just sucralose. While the original recipe called for 5 cups of all purpose white flour, substituted one half cup of whole wheat flour for the last half cup of flour, originally, because I was a bit short, but kept it that way because I liked it.

The recipe shows the sucralose and honey measurements, but as you can see, there's room to experiment.

From the Grit Cookbook.

Serve a think, toasted slice with soup or with jam for breakfast. Its combination of savory and sweet flavors will have you sneaking back to the kitchen for one more nibble.

For nutrition calculations, it is for the whole loaf. You figure out the nutrition info based on how many slices you cut it in. My loaf was larger than the 10 servings they suggested.

I had to alter the original ingredients a little based on what I had on hand. :)
