Irish Thought for January 17...

Irish Food

Irish Soda Bread

This simple, quick-to-make bread uses soda as a leavener instead of yeast, and is a classic Irish staple.  The basic recipe includes four, baking soda, salt, egg, and buttermilk, sometimes, with raisins, caraway seeds, or various nuts, and the dough is only gently mixed and not kneaded.  Irish soda bread is rather dry, not particularly sweet, and light on salt because it's usually served with rich Irish butter or cheese.
