[@kathleengreen6889]

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

[@irishbakerabroad]

Great stuff! Thanks for doing it Nancy! 😊☘️

[@DiddlyPenguin]

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 😊

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.

@@sandrasabadics8704 Thanks so much Sandra! Have a Happy Christmas! 😊🎄⛄️

[@sandrasabadics8704]

@irishbakerabroad The tastiest, merriest Christmas to you & your family.

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! 😊☘️

[@RonaldKidd-p4z]

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

[@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 😄

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

[@lastdon85]

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

[@Brendan_Joseph]

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

[@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?!! 😂

[@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]

Is that 200c fan oven?

[@irishbakerabroad]

No conventional oven Jade 😊☘️

[@dalspartan]

I add honey just for fun!

[@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

[@LiloUkulele]

Mom make it in a cast iron pan on the stove
