TWD: Irish Soda Bread

Irish Soda Bread

I’m almost ashamed to admit that I’ve never made Irish Soda Bread before — because this was one of the easiest things I’ve ever baked. No kneading, no waiting, nothing. Where have you been all my life, Irish Soda Bread?

Though this was a project for this week’s Tuesdays With Dorie, I think it’s going to become a staple at my house.

This week’s recipe is hosted Carla and Cathleen.

Four ingredients and one hour. That’s it.

These days, any recipe that says to just plop the dough into a pie plate to bake is already a winner in my book.

It came out beautifully golden and moist, and reminded me of baking powder biscuits.

The loaf pulled double duty as we snacked on it throughout the afternoon (it was really good with jam), and then I buttered it up and served it with split pea soup for dinner.
