Happy St. Patricks Day- Irish Soda Bread
Happy St Patricks Day
I want to wish everyone a Happy St. Patricks Day. To celebrate the day I made a loaf of Traditional Irish Soda Bread, the recipe comes from Jessica@What Jessica Baked Next, this recipe is great by the way, very moist and delicious and excactly how I imagine a loaf of soda bread to be..
I think Irish Soda bread is the perfect way to celebrate this day, a shout out to my Irish friends and all those that celeberate this day and the beloved St. Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland. I love Ireland, I want to go there it is #1 on my list of places I want to visit and I’m afraid that if I go I just might not come back. By all accounts it looks like heaven on earth, lush green land, friendly people, quaint and beautiful cottages, I could go on and on. So here is to Ireland and it’s wonderful people. A loaf of soda bread, served hot with some good butter, jam and a cup of strong tea.
Happy St Patricks Day

Suzanne your soda bread looks divine! At lunch I walked down to Best Buns bakery. Usually they only have Irish soda bread on Fridays — but in honor of the day they had some Irish soda bread scones! Of course I bought one. Everyone is Irish today — Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Suzanne. That’s a fabulous recipe. Ireland sounds like a gorgeous country. Lush greens and beautiful cottages create fairyland image.
It really does, I want to live in fairy land.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Suzanne. I like sticking to traditional dishes on the holidays and soda bread should always be on the list. This looks delicious.

Hi Suzanne, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! beautiful soda bread….
Thanks Cheri, Happy St Patricks day to you!!
It’s a very beautiful place. I’m sure you’ll love it when you get there. And I hope you do get the chance of visiting one day. There’s lots of places in both the North and South that I’ve never been to. So many counties to choose from! Happy SPD!
I want to visit England and meet you and go to Ireland and meet some of the Irish contingent and see the beautiful countryside. I also think that England is equally beautiful, the country and some of the little villages are just wonderful.

Hello Mr. Fitz and thank you!
I love soda bread so much, look at that crust!
Thank you Jenn, it’s wonderful bread.
Thanks very much for this, Suzanne ! Whilst I do have my favourite no-knead, no-nothing bread recipe that’s foolproof, I’ve wanted to try soda-bread for ages.
Goodonyermate ! 🙂
Thank you. I cannot knead bread at all, my hands cannot do it I have my trusty kitchen aid to do the work for me but luckily this lovely soda bread requires very very little in the way of work. It’s fantastic bread.
Same here. Would you like to have my no-knead crusty bread recipe ?
Yes please, would love it.
I’ve never tried making soda bread before Suzanne, but it looks and sounds so fast and easy – I’ll have to give it a try! A belated Happy St Patrick’s Day!
This recipe is very traditional, I am biscuit/scone challenged but for some reason I can make soda bread and it turns out great. Not sure why, same principal. It’s so quick and easy. Thanks Margot.
The bread looks amazing and delicious! Happy belated St. Patrick’s Day!
Thanks Jasline!
I don’t think I’ve ever even tried soda bread before but I LOVE bread, so I’m sure I would love this. It looks absolutely heavenly and I love the crunchy top! YUM.
The soda bread is like a big biscuit or scone. It’s really good!! Thanks Brandi.
I’m off to check out this soda bread. I haven’t made it in YEARS! Hope you had a wonderful St. Pats, and are beginning to thaw out in NYC!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Suzanne! 😀 It looks divine – I celebrated St. Patrick’s in NYC this year! Such great celebrations and this recipe was perfect for the occasion! x
It was wonderful Jess, you were in NYC, what fun, you know I live in Brooklyn, did you venture there? Thanks for a great recipe.
Aww I had such a brilliant time! NYC is my new favourite city, definitely visiting again soon with my family. We ventured a little bit around Brooklyn- loved Jacques Torres chocolate factory and shop! 😀
So you were in Dumbo? I live very close to there. Next time you are here let me know, would love to meet you.
Sorry am late to wish you. .. happy St. Patrick’s day… This bread looks amazing Suzanne. ..
Thanks so much Chitra.
Happy belated St Patricks Day. I am half Irish. My dad’s family is from Dublin and I adore Soda bread! Emma xx
