I made this just now, top notch! I've eaten half of it already, but i'm interested to see how to tastes tomorrow too, like how the texture changed. The thing is at school about 30 years ago, i swapped my school dinner for a sandwich from this lad in my class. And it was a jam sandwich with butter, and it blew my mind, it just melted in my mouth i'd never tasted anything like it before, and i asked him what it was, and he said it was soda bread and that his mum had made it. Now i've got a long bloody way to get my soda bread to that level, but by god you've started me off in the right direction :) Thank you my friend :)

I brought a bag of Irish wholemeal back from Ireland after making lousy brown bread properly. Pastry flour is what you want in the US, it's lower in gluten than all purpose. I've had great results using it and you can reconstitute whole meal by adding the bran and germ back. 80g PF, 17g Bran and 3g germ is the ratio. We have a local dairy that makes a whole milk buttermilk, much better than what you get in a supermarket.

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Thank you so much for watching, I will be doing a brown soda bread video soon, That’s fantastic you got a great mix by doing it yourself, also you can’t beat dairy products straight for a farm. Rob

I just made this, i think i needed to leave it in the oven a little longer but the pair of us ate the whole thing in one go, with the obligatory ton of butter!

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Aw fantastic, every oven is different, some can be more time some can be less, but the main thing is you had a TON of butter on it 😁 Rob

I now add an egg to make it lighter, my son goes crazy and says, !Will you just do it how you use to without the egg for gods sake"!

How long does oven have to be on before bread goes in , and how high ?

Looks like it needed longer in the oven. Doughy inside.

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

No it was perfect timing, I did cut it to soon from the oven because I had a lot on that day and had to get it finished up, thanks for watching, Rob

[@elliecherise1968]

Okay, so can you use baking powder instead of baking soda? There's an Irish woman that used Baking Powder. Thanks for your help. I reposted my comment because there's some people stalking me on here and exposing my personal information.

[@jimkoss3318]

Is an Irish tsp smaller than a U. S. tsp? What’s the weight of salt and soda?

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Hi and thank for watching, most people in Ireland use a actual teaspoon not the measuring spoon so that’s the difference, 1/2 a measuring tsp for both salt & bread soda or bicarbonate soda Rob

[@jimkoss3318]

@@RobertKelly-simplecooking Thanks for the info

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

No problem hope it help

[@MDVANJ]

That was my question too. Unfortunately it led to me not adding enough salt and baking soda. My teaspoons equal a measured teaspoon😢

[@cathyj.1654]

New to your channel. I’ve had soda bread once, but you make sound so much better than what I ate many, many moons ago. I will give this a try. Perhaps my 1% Irish heritage will really, really love it as much as you do. Thanks for the recipe!🙋🏾

[@patrickweckermann9121]

Definitely an interesting quick bake bread recipe but where you had me completely mesmerized was the sheer volume of butter on that test slice. Are you secretly french?

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Hahaha Bonjour Patrick no I’m definitely 100% Irish, i always remember a block of butter on my grandparents table and they used to cut it like cheese and put it into the bread when it was still hot, it’s just fantastic

[@annfrancoole34]

Stick the kettle on

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

And enjoy … Thanks for watching Rob

[@janettedavis6627]

Where's the butter? I love the raisin soda bread too.

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

It’s spread over ever slice, thanks for watching Rob

[@DjBulletsmadden]

Let it cool first ya dope

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Ok

[@tornado1598]

Same recipe as Derina Allen then

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Oh course it’s a traditional recipe, thanks for watching, Rob

[@bekahbeeb]

Hahahaha I got to the introduction and then looked in the notes for the written recipe. Love that you added an American recipe, hahaha, but I have converted to the grams way of measuring now because of a UK bread maker via KZbin, BakeWithJack. i only weigh out my ingredients now ❤

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Fantastic, thank you so much for watching “well the introduction anyway 🤣🤣” Rob

[@languageoffootball]

You can’t eat soda bread without a cupeen of tae! Sacrilegious!

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

It’s the only way, thank you so much for watching. Rob

[@languageoffootball]

@@RobertKelly-simplecooking it’s brilliant, although personally I prefer half wholesome half white flour mix. It’s mad how literally everybody makes it slightly different from home to home. Nobody has ever made it better than my grandmother up to now for me!

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Absolutely there is no one made the same, im sure you will make her proud, Rob

All of the Irish soda bread recipes I’ve seen have tons of sugar and raisins. this is more like what I expected Irish soda bread is made. Thank you for the videos.

[@RobertKelly-simplecooking]

Thank you very much for watching. Rob

[@gone474]

What kind of flour, bread flour or cake flour? (We don't have all-purpose flour in our country). Is pastry flour the same as cake flour?

[@mariekelly2016]

Can you show us how to make soda farls ?

[@VashtiWood]

G'day from Australia! I have to say I'm SO happy you it in the weights for this recipe! 1 Aussie metric cup of flour weighs 150g! So is have been trying to make this head with a REALLY incorrect ratio of dry to wet! 😍 EDIT: k, more I'm REALLY confused... How many ml are in an Irish teaspoon?. How does it suffer from an American teaspoon? 🫢

[@josephineholohan7350]

An Irish teaspoon is 5ml which I think is an American half teaspoon

[@VashtiWood]

@@josephineholohan7350 a standard American teaspoon is 4.9ml, no near enough for single teaspoon measures. Real differences come in TABLEspoons... One Australian standard/metric TB = 4x TSP = 20ml, whereas 1x American TB = 3x American tsp = 14.8ml

Wonderful. I will make it tomorrow morning.
