Directions
100% Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread,I just tried this recipe for the first time, and I immediately wanted to put it online so that I would always be able to find it. It’s from La Leche League’s cookbook, _Whole Foods for the Whole Family_. Of course a whole wheat bread is always different from a white flour bread, but I was amazed at how well this recipe captures the taste and texture of Irish soda bread. It’s dense and crumbly and a bit sweet, and very delicious. It’s also quite easy to make. It’s a “quick bread” recipe — no yeast, no rising — but you shape it into round loaves, and it feels more “bread-y” to me than most quick breads. I can’t wait to make it again. Enjoy!,This is the best soda bread I’ve tasted yet. I left the raisins out of it, used yogurt instead of milk as was suggested, and home ground whole wheat flour. The honey added a slight sweet note, but not too sweet for serving with soup, and the butter provided additional depth to the nutty flavor. I’ll definitely be making this bread again! Great to have a quick and tasty bread recipe like this when I don’t have time to make a yeast bread.,This is the best soda bread I’ve tasted yet.
