Here’s A Recipe For How You Can Make Irish Soda Bread This Saint Patrick’s Day
With St. Patrick’s Day coming up next week, you’ll want to celebrate with a traditional Irish meal. Irish soda bread is a good place to start. It’s an Irish staple, and it’s actually pretty easy to make since this bread does not require any yeast.
It was invented in Ireland in the early nineteenth century as a way to make bread without an oven. Those who did not have an oven would bake the soda bread in a cast-iron pot over a fire.
TikToker Ereka Vetrini (@erekasfood) is sharing her recipe for Irish soda bread in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day.
No matter how you bake your Irish soda bread, be sure to have plenty of butter at the ready! Here’s everything you need to know to create the tastiest soda bread.
Dough Ingredients:
-4 1/4 cups of flour
-1 teaspoon of baking soda
-1 teaspoon of salt
-4 tablespoons of sugar

-5 tablespoons of refrigerated butter
-1 cup of raisins
-1 3/4 cups of refrigerated buttermilk
-1 egg
-Zest from one orange
Maple Butter Ingredients:
-4 tablespoons of butter, softened
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
-1 tablespoon of maple syrup
Directions:
Start by whisking the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest in a bowl, then set it aside. Next, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a separate bowl. Add cubed cold butter into the bowl and mix until it disappears.
Pour in the raisins and buttermilk mixture, and use your hands to combine the ingredients until you have formed a fairly sticky dough.
Knead the dough on a flat surface for about thirty seconds. Then, shape it into a loaf and set it into a greased cake pan.
Carve an X into the top of the dough, and bake it in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
While it’s baking, make the maple butter to pair with the bread. All you need to do is mash salt, maple syrup, and butter together in a bowl.
Spread on the sweet-tasting butter when the bread is fresh out of the oven. It will melt into the slices of bread, creating a pleasant combination of flavors!
