Irish Soda Bread Recipe
After watching a few videos and reading up on Irish traditions from the kitchen I am digging in! It appears that using a basic all-purpose flour with coarse whole wheat flour is the key. First, buttermilk is a MUST in most bread recipes found from Europe.
- whole wheat flour
- all-purpose flour
- baking soda
- salt
- buttermilk
- egg
- rolled oats
This recipe is super easy to mix together by hand. Moreover, it is best to not over mix the dough. There is also a nice paddle attachment that works great for mixing breads as long as it is on low speed. Scroll down to get the printable recipe card including the complete directions.

The first time I made this recipe was after a trip to Ireland. We had the honor of having breakfast at the home of an Irish family. The stove was the center piece of the home really. Making baked bread not only warms the soul it heats up the home on a damp cool day. When I look back on the experience I wish I would have taken photos of the stove and the bread. This was 2008 and I don’t think I even had a ‘smart’ phone at the time. I will always cherish the memory of the cozy feeling and scent from that yummy Irish meal that included bread. Finally, lets get to the exact recipe that is below:
