Traditional Brown Irish Soda Bread
""Odlums Flours" are a national brand in Ireland and for generations the recipes found on their packaging have been enjoyed. My Mother always made bread from an Odlums recipe and I have kept it the same....hope you enjoy. It goes great with stews and soups. I also like to serve it with smoked salmon, a combination you are bound to enjoy."

- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
1 loaf
ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 15 g wheat germ (I put in 1/8th of a cup)
- 500 ml 2% buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
directions
- Sieve the Salt, Bread Soda and All purpose flour into a bowl. Mix in the Wholewheat flour and wheatgerm. Add enough milk to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the mixture comes together. Place on a floured baking sheet forming into a round loaf (approx 10" diameter).
- Place into a preheated oven (central position) and bake at 375 to 400 F for 40 to 45 minutes. When baked the bread will sound hollow when you tap it on the bottom. Cool on a baking rack or wrap in a dry tea towel to give a softer crust.
- Enjoy.

St. Paddy's Day and what a perfect bread to serve with my recipe#16315. I've never made Soda Bread before but well I remember the wonderful flavor and texture from our trips to Ireland and this brought back all those memories. It was just as I remembered and enjoyed by all who have declared me a true Irish cook.<br/><br/>Made for Spring PAC 2012
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
We live in Canada's only border town on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border which runs down the middle of town. Living in the heartland of Heavy Oil, John works in Oilfield construction and Debi in finance. We both love our Company's Coming cookbooks and of course all the fine recipes here on Zaar. After a 6 month winter we cannot wait to get to the Bbq even though we do use it all year. Food cooked outdoors in +30 always tastes better than food cooked in -30 we think, the added bonus is your beer don't freeze. We both love a good meal at home, at a friends or out and about in town. Life is pretty laid back and spent with family and friends, oh and our Border Collie ...Saorsha (Gaelic for Freedom). Right now our world revolves around our first grandson Keegan....just a bundle of fun that goes home at the end of the day to make it even nicer. Thats about it. Thanks for all the recipes you have given us and all your comments which help us learn and grow.
