Classic Irish Turnover Bread

[@johnsinclair2231]

OMG I can smell it already. All I need is salted butter and a bowl of tripe and onions. Finished the Gur cake this afternoon, your recipe is spot on. Thanks again Chris. John 73 year young trainee chef 😊

[@rebeccaowens]

Brilliant video. Amazing crust colour and bread texture. My favourite bread. Can't wait to try the recipe. Thanks for sharing 🙏 Just need to find where I can get fresh yeast now 🙈

[@irishbakerabroad]

Just saw this now. Sorry! 😄 You can substitute with dry yeast. Just divide the amount of fresh by 3 Rebecca ☘️

[@jaynehogarty4694]

Thanks. Excellent tutorial. I hope I can do half as good as you when I try to bake. I remember Turnovers being left on the house windowsill by whoever delivered the bread in Rathmines in the '60s. Used to enjoy picking at the beautiful bread before it was taken in!

I only watched half, and I will have to watch the rest later. I'm already tired and I didn't even make this! LOL! I don't know if I have the energy to make this. Man, the Irish Mammies who did this every day, years ago, they are to be commended! AND: you too! ;) --gv

[@melissabrennan5712]

Hi if you don’t have fresh yeast, can you use dried yeast? If you can, how many grams of dried yeast would you recommend ? Love this channel. I’m also from Ireland. 🍀 Thanks Melissa

[@stephenw1799]

Born and bred in Dublin and I never knew turnover was a Dublin or Irish thing. I'll try baking it this weekend..

[@irishbakerabroad]

Great stuff pal. I just posted a Vienna roll video too! 🇮🇪💪🏻

My husband and I are Americans. Both of our grandpa's were Irish Americans (plus many others). Every year on St. on Patrick's Day I make a big Irish meal in memory of them all. This year I want to do something different. I'm making corned beef stew. I will watch your videos for more ideas like this delicious looking bread. Thanks❤ 🍀

Great stuff! If you’ve any questions about anything just give me a shout! Have a Happy St Patrick’s Day! 🇮🇪😊☘️

Jayney, I think I’ll have to go to the gym for about two weeks before I make a batch loaf ! You’d have muscles on your muscles with all that kneading ! 😂 . They look so good and were one of my favourites back home. Thanks so much for the recipe, Chris. You need another holiday after that ! Lol 😂 x

Hi Chris Michael Murphy here originally from Dublin I'm loving your recipes and trying them out. I've just made the turnover bread for the very first time although it's not as good as your one, I don't think it's to bad for a very first time baking. Keep up the great work

[@irishbakerabroad]

Thank a mill for giving it a go Michael! Just keep at it. Everything falls in to place over time and with a bit of practice. Cheers, Chris 🇮🇪☘️

[@zefsurvival7962]

@@irishbakerabroad I was just wondering if Turnover, Bach and bla are the same dough and just shaped differently? Or is one stiffer less water? Anyway thanks alot.

[@laviniaenglish5152]

Hi Chris, well done on the vids 👏👏 just wondered if dry yeast can be used instead of fresh yeast? I can’t find the fresh stuff anywhere

[@irishbakerabroad]

Yeah no problem. Just divide the fresh quantity by 3 for the dry amount. Should be grand 😊

[@CianPowerBrokTV]

Can you use a kitchen aid for kneading or would you still recommend doing it by hand? 🤔

[@rufusbert]

I'm having trouble finding a pan 12 cm deep. Can you suggest an alternative? I lived in Ireland in the 70's and have a longing to make this bread I remember so well!

[@irishbakerabroad]

You could try using a foil tin and reshaping it using a scissors and a stapler. I’d say it would do the job ☘️

[@gemmajohnson774]

What are the measurements please

[@donalmooney4695]

Fantastic 70 years ago going to the shop for me ma to get a turnover picking the bits off the side on the way home well worth the clout I'd get when I got home

[@irishbakerabroad]

Well worth it alright! 😄🇮🇪

[@bernadettegildea1844]

I can relate to that😂😂😂

[@serephiamccabe]

[@tomasmaoldomhnachoniallain6899]

Have stalled on balling on with this recipe - yeast is a problem - Chris, what would be the best way forward without yeast?

[@irishbakerabroad]

What’s the issue pal? You can’t get yeast? ☘️

[@tomasmaoldomhnachoniallain6899]

Problem is medical. Diet is incredibly restricted. Most self baked items are ok but yeast appears to be one culprit in causing flares. I can have some yeast but just wondering what way to proceed without it? There is one turnover which I buy that works well but it does have yeast.

[@irishbakerabroad]

@@tomasmaoldomhnachoniallain6899 You could try sourdough bread. I have a few videos on the channel here. Or soda bread if you like that ☘️

[@p.johnwalsh6845]

Hi Chris - thank you so much for this recipe from another Irishman abroad. What size is the baking pan you use there?

[@irishbakerabroad]

Howaya pal! 🇮🇪 That’s a 30 x 30 cm and about 10 cm in height. Anything with a bit of height to it will do.

[@p.johnwalsh6845]

Howrya chicken! Thanks for the reply! Growing up in Fermoy and going with my Gran to a small local baker for turnover was wonderful experience, the smell of bread bread, ahh the great simple memories. A lump of soft butter and turnover bread was the best. Thanks for these vids pal!

[@declangeraghty5844]

I've done this turnover a few time. Tastes delicious but I can't get mine to rise as much as yours and mine has a slight yellowish color not like how white yours is. Any advice?

[@irishbakerabroad]

It could just be the flour your using. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. If it tastes good that’s what’s important! In relation to the rising of the loaf. Maybe it wasn’t kneaded enough Declan or could it be the shaping. Send me a few pics or video clips on the Facebook page next time if ya can pal 😉👍🏻

Story!

In 2001, we lived in Skerries, North of Howth. We have many favorites wich we miss. Batch loaves, buckles, bracks, baps, sausage rolls, are just a few of our many favorites. As an amateur baker, I find some of these items take much practice to make well in the USA. Thank you for the channel!
