It's Little Red Hen week in my kindergarten, which means we're making bread- lots of it. Every day, I take a small group and we mix up a batch of Irish Soda bread. It's an easy recipe- doesn't require too many ingredients, isn't off-putting to picky eaters (some soda bread recipes call for raisins and caraway seeds), and the measurements for the various ingredients are simple to divide between several kids. I forget how much I like this recipe (it's so good toasted and slathered with jam) until I start baking a loaf every night for a week. Munch is curious about the dough I keep carting home, so we may be making some this weekend for her to taste!
Irish Soda Bread
4 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. buttermilk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add the buttermilk and stir until thoroughly incorporated (no dry crumbles remain) and dough begins to form a ball. Turn dough into a greased pan and bake for approximately 40 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a cooling rack.

I've never tried soda bread and this sounds good!! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I'll have try this. I have never made soda bread, but it seems easy enough that even I couldn't mess it up! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I've never tried that before but it looks SO good. And it looks so easy to make...it should almost be illegal for making bread to be that easy.
I've had irish soda bread before and it is delicious.
I had a friend once that made it and then cooked it on a griddle. I've never found a recipe that called for griddle baking though. I'd love to try it one day.
