To celebrate St Patrick’s Day, our pro baker Sophie Carey shared her wonderful take on the Traditional Irish Soda Bread! Sophie made this with our YQ and Canadian Flours, but you can substitute the YQ for a Strong Wholegrain and the Canadian for AP Regen if preferred.
Did you know...?
Traditionally the Irish bake their loaves in a classic round fashion and cut a cross on top of the bread. This was done for superstitious reasons, and is still commonly done today, as it was believed that a cross on top of the bread would let the fairies out to ward off evil and protect the household!
