[@millie28julio]

I just subscribed to your channel and I hope I can bake this bread today. I wish you had the written recipe for me to follow. My hands are painfull and it is hard to keep going back to look at your video over and over. I love and appreciate this recipe and the way you describe the details. Thank you.

[@Brigidduffield]

Hi Millie, thank you. If you send me your email, I will send you a hard copy of the recipe. Best and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Brigidduffield]

[@siobhanmcallen3506]

This bread looks delicious ..from Ireland

[@JGagnon]

I’m going to have to try this.

[@elainelee2705]

Ms Brigid, this recipe of yours is just delicious! Thank you again for emailing me the recipe. I finally made it tonight n just love it! I did skip the melted butter part (cos I forgot.. oops) and sprinkled the top with 2 tsp of sugar only. Definitely will make it again very soon!

[@Brigidduffield]

Thanks so much for reaching out. So glad you enjoyed it!

[@danemeow8]

Awesome thank you! I’ve been looking for this exact soda bread recipe! All the way down to the juicy gold raisins and sugar topping! I used to be able to buy it at a bakery in my town but sadly no more... good thing I found you and your recipe, and it’s so easy to make (even the faux buttermilk hack is perfect) !!! Thnx a million!

[@eviek1122]

This is Soda Bread CAKE actually😉

[@NolaGB]

J I watched this video to see how YOU make this bread and if using your hands is the way you do that ... it's just fine with me! I've not had good Irish Soda Bread since I moved away from home many, many years ago and I can't wait to try this out. Oh ... and I'll be using my hands. Ha! I think it's good to get a feel for what you're doing. Thank you for this great video!!!

[@Brigidduffield]

Thanks so much!!! Looking forward to hearing how it tasted!

[@ethelnewberry4496]

Thank you for rolling up your sleeves!!!Some don't. That's the first thing taught in a food science class. Bread look's nice. You remind me of one of my cooking instructor's.

[@Brigidduffield]

Thanks!!!

[@Brigidduffield]

Thanks!!! As you probably noticed, I was already committed to the video when I realized I probably should not have worn a black suit....lesson learned!!!

[@kathycorkery1630]

sugar! I have never put sugar in my soda bread. It must be very sweet.

[@JLMcG18]

ok so the actual traditional recipe for this 'Fruit Soda' is just 3 ingredients: 1lb Soda Bread Flour (if you cant get this add Bicarbonate of Soda to Self Raising Flour) Raisins - any type - add to the flour and mix well Just under 1 Pint Buttermilk - use your common sense - don't make it too wet Add the buttermilk and mix quickly as the bicarb reacts with the buttermilk to make it rise Do not knead but do bring the dough together to make a decent shape - don't let it be falling to pieces (score the top to stop it cracking in odd places) Set it into a lightly floured tin and into the oven (don't squash it in or you'll never get it out) (you can also make this without raisins - maybe try adding some cooked bacon pieces and grated cheese to the flour before adding the buttermilk) or don't add anything to the bread, it's just as nice plain, then sliced with butter and jam. You can also roll out the plain type to about 1" thick circle, cut in 4 and cook in a dry pan over a low heat on the hob to make farls.

[@Brigidduffield]

Thanks! This recipe is a result of years of testing lots of recipes, including those from my relatives in Ireland where the ingredients are different than the US. Lots of great ideas here for those who want to experiment. I just love mine and stick to this recipe without any modifications. Best, Brigid

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Jane-Lee Drysdale You need salt when making breads as it gives depth to the flavour. Butter, egg and sugar for keeping qualities and added dimension to the flavour. Also makes it more nutritious. Original recipes can always be improved upon.

[@joansmith1511]

proper Irish soda bread does not have butter or eggs its Irish bread not American.. my gran /mother and myself make it the traditional way.....

[@maryfagan9592]

Just loved this ,never ever seen someone cook in a beautiful black suit ,def going to try your recipe ,more like a cake ,but why not ! Thanks for the chuckle ,who on earth said you shouldn't use your hands ,you are cooking !?

[@sharonstotts7493]

Try really cold glass of butter milk sprinkled with a wee bit of salt n pepper yum.

[@ethelnewberry151]

Brigid: I must say this is the forth time I've watched the video. I am just wondering why you are wearing a beautiful business suit while making your wonderful bread. I know it's really good because I've followed your formula, and it's the best thing I could eat. I must confess though, I have eaten the entire loaf in less than a twenty four hour period. And the toast on the second day is so out of this world good. OMG...good. I am going to make some more later today, and will be giving a loaf to a neighbor across the street. I must also confess that when I make a loaf, I have no control over myself to eat it in a controlled fashion, as in a couple of slices, then let it alone...I am an addict for this type of bread. I found an easy way to get the butter into the flour...lt is this: Use your box grater that you use for grating cabbage for coleslaw...the big holes...have the butter rock hard cold, and grate it on to a dinner plate, then add it to the dry mixture, mix it through, then add the wet mixture; continue with normal mixing. I like to put some corn meal on the board while I knead it a few times, and a little more on the buttered pan. It adds another dimension. I still have my Grandmother's recipe handed to my mother, then to me. Grandma was born 1869, died 1941. She was English, but married an Irishman, and he taught he to make the Irish Soda Bread. Naturally, my mother made it, then I started to make it when I was about 13, or so, back in 1947. That became my job, as my parents divorced soon after the war. Mama had to go to work, and didn't have time to do much other than work at a book bindery and take two buss's to get to the job. And myself in today's world brings me up to eighty-four in August, which may make me your oldest reader and bread baker. So, thank you for your lovely way of making Irish Soda Bread. Happy Easter 2018, E. M., A2,(just down the street from the Big House), March 27, 2018, 3:32 A. M. (yes, I'm a night owl)

[@Brigidduffield]

Thanks! I was fairly into the video when I realized I should NOT have been wearing a black suit...LOL. Lesson Learned. And I am with you, I have to be careful as to how often I make it because once I start to eat any of it, I eat it all.

[@lindmarcella]

😉Bless you sweetie!

[@pmcg97]

☘So good and tasty, well done ☘

[@sfloris9]

Love you!

[@kirkinthemountains8327]

You're delightful. Thanks for the great recipe! 🇮🇪🍀

[@jonejett478]

☘️🙏

[@elizabethroche3248]

I wouldn't call this traditional soda bread..all that butter and sugar? But would be delicious.

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Elizabeth Roche Of course it isn't, but I've made the traditional brown Irish soda bread with wholemeal and it's dry, bland and tastes like sawdust. I prefer this delicious version.

[@murieldonahue188]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!

[@Brigidduffield]

Thanks!!! Hope you have a joyfilled Holiday Season. Merry Christmas!

[@mariamkinen8036]

Your hair! 🙂 we have it . Not quite as light. My sis n bro. TY. I've had a taste of the original. oh my goodness me! The sugar on top.

[@itfitzme59]

I just made this yummy

[@velocitygirl8551]

Cooking video from a law office?

[@stephaniegifford2020]

Is it possible to use a gluten free flour?

[@Brigidduffield]

It is. I have made it with one to one GF flour. Try it and let me know!

[@delladearest2511]

There’s a GF channel called, Let them eat GF cake and she has developed a great recipe for GF bread etc.

[@user-bb3sg5yk5r]

I would have liked to seen you cut into it

[@readytogo3186]

Odd video! Never saw anybody get dressed up in a solid black, very dressy suit to mess with flour! Amazing! I would have had it all over me!

[@cathleenorr9986]

My husband and I made this and it is scrumdiddlyumptious!!! We did need to use a little more buttermilk (1/4 c.) and reduced the raisins down to 1 1/2 c. when we made the second batch. It was a hit at work today, and will be again tomorrow at our annual St. Patty's Day party. I only wish the recipe was printable....

[@Brigidduffield]

Thanks...and if you send me your email to [e-mail], I will send you a printable recipe.

[@sharonstotts7493]

Hoo ray for the IRISH

[@kevenmcginn5406]

😋👌🏻

[@auk7447]

I think this is a scone 😅

[@kellyclark7517]

Get down n dirty w ur hands! Mo worries cuz🇮🇪

[@dianasoler5846]

recipe please

[@Brigidduffield]

Hi Diana, where can I email it to!

[@adontee1960]

I didn't have good results, the 9 inch pan was way too small, it baked over the pan and dropped onto bottom of my oven and filled my house with smoke. I'll know next time to use a larger baking pan!

[@Brigidduffield]

Sometimes if the pan is overfilled which can happen if there is too much milk in the batter, this will happen. Good Luck next time! How did it taste?

[@adontee1960]

Brigid Duffield The Taste was delicious!

[@bonnenaturel6688]

No to sugar.

[@8pstry]

I wish I could hear this better.

[@ethelnewberry151]

Nancy Snyder: I have the same problem. It maybe that Brigid's microphone is too far away from her, but by bringing the mic closer would solve the problem.

[@DoDayDem]

Too much sugar

[@thealchemistdaughter3405]

Lovely recipe but I would say this is a bun not a bread .. Certainly not how I was taught to make Irish soda bread.

[@lindmarcella]

I bet it was delicious but I bet you wasted a whole slice with what you washed off your hands. Could you not have finished it and dumped it in the pan with the spatula. I see no reason to mix it with your hands after mixing the butter with the flour. Blessings!
