[@Naniux07]

You look like Edward Norton! Thanks for the recipe! 👍🏼

[@kathleengreen6889]

Looks delicious! I’ll add raisins because we like them. Love the tip to add white flour on top! Thank you, Chris!

[@irishbakerabroad]

No bother Kathleen! ☘️☘️☘️

There’s nothing like soda bread yum 😋

[@irishbakerabroad]

I agree! Did you see the cabbage soup video to go with it? It’s on Facebook but I’ll post it here tomorrow 😊

[@nancypearson1353]

I made this yesterday and just loved it. I will try it with raisins next time. Thanks for sharing!❤

[@irishbakerabroad]

Great stuff! Thanks for doing it Nancy! 😊☘️

[@danielhigle6590]

I make soda bread quite often and do as you say. I enrich the dough with an egg and butter, then add raisins and a bit of candied peel. Delicious!

[@irishbakerabroad]

Nice one Daniel! 😊☘️

[@justsomethoughts3093]

My mom used to coat the top with sugar. Before baking. For a lovely sugary crust.

[@paulineclarke5940]

Thank you ❤

Thanks Chris, I'm definitely trying this. have you done a potato bread video?

[@RonaldKidd-p4z]

Can I add a tablespoon of oil and what effect would it have on the bread.? Thanks 🤩 Ronnie

[@flashkb]

I love Irish soda bread. Can't find the real thing. You have to make it.

[@Brendan_Joseph]

How would I get a soda bread with a more dense, cake-like texture?

[@lastdon85]

if i use water instead of butter milk... how bad will this turn out?

[@michaelmcconnell2777]

Great video. I wish you said what could be used in place of butter milk because in Ontario Canada since the COVID pandemic they all changed the recipe for buttermilk and it tastes like a dirty dish rag. Could I use sour cream?

[@tynytian]

I've seen from other videos that one could use whole milk with about 1/2tsp of vinegar to substitute for buttermilk, but still others just call for plain whole milk instead of buttermilk altogether.

[@CarolinePoll-im7yo]

❤❤good late afternoon,👋👋 to you ser.😊😊oh and that's yum.

[@irishbakerabroad]

Thanks a lot! ☘️😊

[@stephenw1799]

It becomes American fruit soda bread when you add fruit. It was something that happened after the Irish emigrated to the US and then it came back just like Halloween 😂. I add sultanas myself.

[@irishbakerabroad]

Yeah that’s right. It’s an American thing that made its way back to Ireland 😄

[@mandyb7277]

That was very quick! Would I need to change the recipe any if I did add raisins or currents?

[@irishbakerabroad]

No Mandy just add them in 😊

[@mandyb7277]

@@irishbakerabroad OK, thank you!

[@jenniferw.8647]

Can I use whole wheat flour?

[@irishbakerabroad]

You can yes! 😊

[@JadeKearney-g1z]

Is that 200c fan oven?

[@irishbakerabroad]

No conventional oven Jade 😊☘️

[@ItsForkinDelicious]

Mmmmm looks Forkin’ Delicious!! 😍 We just made traditional Irish fish cakes over on our channel, love seeing the different Irish recipes!! 🧑‍🍳

[@irishbakerabroad]

Cheers for watching. I recently did a brown version and a cabbage and bacon soup. It’s on the channel 👌🏻😋

[@ItsForkinDelicious]

@@irishbakerabroad we’ll check it out!! Looking forward to seeing more, subbed! 😎

[@pippamarshall2987]

Hiya! Would this work with plain gluten free flour please? If not, any suggestions? I'm trying to find a quick, simple tasty GF bread recipe so I can make with organic flour and therefore avoid all the nasties! Tia. Seen your GF video but unfortunately we are not keen on buckwheat! How demanding am I?!! 😂

[@garyash4823]

I dont know how u guys work this kind of sticky dough i tried this & kneading it no way it just ended up all over my hands no matter what i did (inc wetting my hands covering them with flour) nothing works i end up adding more flour or discarding it to the recycle iv tried every hack on you tube with these kinds of dough still no success to your i added about another 1/2 cup of flour to get anywhere near workable have you any suggestions

[@irishbakerabroad]

@@garyash4823 I’d recommend aiming for the consistency of the dough in the video. Hold a drop of buttermilk back. Plenty of flour on the table and shape round like in the video ☘️

[@christinedewick2874]

Use 2 forks to just mould it'll together into the round shape. Easy as

[@Mebabbling]

😂 me too and I feel you. I put together all the exact amount as stated. Then realised it was too watery, eventually threw all away. Well I am not giving up , will try again with lesser buttermilk. 😊

[@olliemoore11]

Could u try a Black Forest gatea sometime soon?

[@irishbakerabroad]

Most definitely! I was gonna do one a few weeks ago but something came up☘️

[@sandrasabadics8704]

Without a doubt, Chris, you really do an excellent job teaching baking, making it easy to follow & execute. Love your healthy rosy cheeks. You are a treasure.

[@irishbakerabroad]
