You are my kind of cook. Not afraid to get your hands in the dough. Who wants to wash a bunch of utensils anyway?
You are so right about the old recipes being the best.
Thank you for all the tidbits about Irish life. Though I descend from Irish blood, my family did not emphasize the glorious heritage it is when we were growing up. I only came to appreciate my homeland later in life when I read about our great Father, St Patrick and the grand contributions the Irish made to civilization.
I love everything Irish!
Thanks.
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Dunno if you still use or view the channel or comments but I recently lost my mother and being able to bake this bread in an authentic way reminds me of her, she used to make some almost every day. Thank you
thank you that look's great I cant wait to try this .x
Thanks for watching 😊
Great video well presented and authentic. Thanks, will try this.
Gráinne's daughter here! Made this today. Was so easy and absolutely delicious!
Keeping the irish traditions alive in Canada fair play to you. I'm gonna make your recipe tomorrow for my irish/italian girls.👍🇮🇪☘💗
Thank you, it's great to have a taste of home 😊
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchenReally good job& talking of Irish Parents & traditions, my mom ( A Kerrywoman) Ii think she mixed in Butter as well,which makes it a little more Heavy! (.And a Plain Yogurt works fine,if there's no Buttermilk to be had!)
I'm absolutely loving your recipes! I like your style of explaining and doing things too. Ireland's loss is Canada's gain. Thank you!
Aww, thank you. I'm glad you are enjoying them 😊
I absolutely agree. This soda bread is my Ging's bread recipe.
The make your own buttermilk tip was the handiest thing ever thank you!
So glad,.you're welcome 😊
Love this! Love all the additional information 🙂
I'm glad you liked it, thank you for your comment 😊
thank you so much for this recipe. Made it today, it was delicious!
Thankyou for your recipe..
You're welcome 😊
This reminds me of the kinda soda bread my grandmother made . I will try it ! Thank you for your wonderful video . My grand parents came from Ireland . It was before 1930 . I am 68 and my grandmother passed away when I was 7 years old and grandfather when I was 16 . I miss them so much . The bread brings back great memories of them and my wonderful times with them . Thank you !
I'm so glad it brought back memories Elizabeth, it is so delicious, I love a slice with a nice cup of tea 💞
I’ve made soda bread for a while, never with raisins but have to say I tried it to your recipe and actually enjoyed it so much. Thank you❣️
I'm glad, thank you for your comment 😊
Thanks so much for this. Brilliant instructions and stories to go with them. Miss soda bread here in California so when the snow eases up, I'm off to the shops for supplies to make this delicious feast. Thanks again.
Glad you liked it, a nice cup of tea and a dollop of butter and you're made up 😍
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen No truer words!

Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much for your recipe. We always buy this bread in the month of March, but can’t get enough of it.
So glad you liked it, thank you 💞
I tried this recipe last week and it's wonderful! Best soda bread recipe I've found. I love your videos, and they're very easy to follow. Thank you, thank you from Florida!
I'm glad you liked it Kathleen, thank you for your comment 😊
Simple, easy and oh so good. I appreciate your gentle approach, not being all picky about everything. Baking should be fun. Thanks for sharing. --Kim whose family hails from County Cork
Thank you Kim, enjoy 😊
delightful to watch. reminds me of my mum baking.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😊
I just subscribed. So excited!
Thank you so much Shirley
Wonderful recipe! There are a few variations, but all so good. My mother in law’s had caraway seeds in it. I loved it. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment, yes so many amazing recipes out there. 😊
Thank you so much for this recipe! Your bread looks like the Irish soda bread that my grandfather from Co. Kerry made often for us. I so prefer it more than the brown soda bread ... and can't wait to try your recipe!! Slainte!!
That's great Maureen, nothing like a nice thick slice and a cuppa 🥰
Yummy.
Thanks for watching 😊
I love listening to you talk. You sound like my Grandparents did. Grandma made Pudding, Fruit Cake, and Soda Bread. They’ve been gone 43 years.
Aww, thank you,.I'm glad it brings back memories 🥰
Love the video. Love your Irish accent. My ancestors came from Galway Bay. God bless the irish. Wish I could have a cuppa and a slice with you.
Thank you for your kind words, if you were close to me you could certainly have a slice and a cuppa 🥰
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen Galway Bay has a nice brown bread and veg soup they everywhere. Do you have any suggestions on how to make either, if youre familiar?
This was a lovely recipe and video x loved when you mentioned the turf on the range x brought back lovely memories of visiting grandparents in west coast of Ireland when we were kids and going to the “bog” to get the turf with my grandad “daddo” loved him x and my auntie had the wooden churn by the door for the sour milk Xiamen just going to pop bread in oven and have it later, I love it fried x
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Lovely to see you Grainne it’s been. While . Happy New Year to you and the family . Keep up the good work xx
You answered my question I was going to ask you tonight about doing the wheaten read in the Cuisinart.
Making this today to be ready for dinner. Thank you.
Enjoy 😊
Lovely soda bread I'm going to try your receipe.it looks the most traditional.thank you
Thanks Eva, I hope you enjoy it 😊
I have just made some soda bread. Its very good. Thanks for showing me how :)
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I tried this iv never made bread or done any baking it turned out lovely beginners luck it tasted great thanks very much 👍
There was some Soda Bread reduced for quick sale. Never had it before. HOOKED. Remembered - that marvelous Irish lady living in Canada will make that on her channel, I bet. And here we are! Making it tomorrow. Thank you again.
Thank you for your lovely comment, glad you found the recipe 😊
I make soda bread every week ... never before seen the piercing technique, I'll give it a try. Americanized version: we add caraway (1 Tbl caraway seeds + 1/4 tsp salt ground to a powder with mortar and pestle). It's a great background flavor and comes from the intermingling of Irish and Eastern European Jewish immigrants (and recipes) on the Lower East Side of NY in the 19th century. Part of our history and delicious! Try it sometime.
Will definitely try that, thank you for the tip 😊
The Irish have a long love of caraway seeds. My Granny always put it in bread and added a spoon to a pot of tea (which we'd forget everytime and always be a little shocked at the first mouthful.)
@@davidotoole9328 adding to tea sounds wonderful - I will try it this afternoon!
@@Marcel_Audubon Let me know if you like it! Can't tell you the quantities. I think a tsp for a pot of 4 or 5 cups.
Interesting how many "different" versions there are. Yet all claim to be "authentic". Some use butter, some say to score lightly, others say cut through deeply! It is hard to know exactly what is authentic. BUT I love your recipe best... it looks straight forward and delicious. Thank you!
I'm so glad,.short and sweet.for our busy lives 😊
Hello from Singapore.Love to try the Irish soda bread bread.Just watched e raisin scones n for sure I'm going to bake this Irish bread tomorrow morning.Thnks.
Hi, sorry just saw this now, I hope you enjoyed the bread 😊
Love it Grawnya, Loads of recipes for soda bread, but I was searching for an Irish fruit soda loaf the way my aunt Kathleen would have made in Scotstown Co Monaghan Eire, when i was a child and this is perfect for me as this is the very same method she would have used ,
Thanks for sharing Grawnya.
Hi James, thanks so much for your comment, I'm glad you found the recipe, enjoy 😊
Look great thanks
Glad you liked it 😊
I have watched so many soda bread recipes and this is the most refreshing one I have seen- I can't wait to try Your Soda Bread. I found myself feeling like I found "The One"!
I'm so glad, enjoy 😉
I recently learned from a baker that you can use sour milk in baking, buttermilk isn't sold in large cartons in england, at least I haven't found it and so I was adding vinegar to milk to curdle my milk. This is ok but I tried the sour milk recipe and the taste of the bread is delicious and fluffy. Simply allow the milk to sour and then it's ready for use. I make my soda bread every other day so was expensive using buttermilk, but now much cheaper to make. Thanks for your recipes, love them . 💐🙏❤️
Yes that's what my mam used to do, milk in Ireland and I'm sure in England has a much shorter shelf life than Canada, actually I wonder about Canada's milk as it can stay fresh for about 6 weeks, it's crazy. My mam's bread was always amazing. Thanks for reminding me 😊
Great video Grawnya, yours is amongst the best I have seen on YT and so similar to my Mum's and her Mum's way of making this wonderful bread. Thanks
Thank you Matthew, I'm so glad you liked it 😊
I'm really loving your channel, just recently subscribed. Your Irish Soda Bread looks scrumptious. Blessings from Ontario, Canada. Mary
Thank you Mary for your comment. Now is as good as any to do a bit of baking 😊
Hello dear just letting you know I just finished baking your scones and I substitute raisins for mixed fruits rum based from my Christmas black rum cake West Indian style and it came out perfect absolutely delicious thank you thank you thank you this is my every weekend job now. God Bless
I'm so glad Sharina, my Trinny friends have baked black rum cake for me and it is delicious 🥰
Fantastic now that would just be the business exactly the way you suggested. Warm with some butter and a cuppa tay
My favourite time of day, a cuppa and slice of homemade bread or scones 😊
We have a great time singing as a kid for holidays..now I'm letting my kids a grandkids know the IRISH decent..also family was slots gathering was great..
It's great to pass our traditions on to our children and grandchildren, I hope my kids will keep it up for my grandchildren 💞
Love your baking Grawnya
Thank you Mary 😊
Hi Grawnya, great recipe. You have a lovely manner of teaching as well as the lovely accent.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment . I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have a bet with my better half that your longford or therabouts maybe westmeath,?
thumbs up for recipe and bmilk tip!!!!
Thank you, so glad it was helpful 💞
The best buttermilk for cooking is the kind there was on my grandparents' farm back in the 1960's; thick like the half-and-half sold in the stores now, almost whipping cream in consistency. My grandmother drank it by the glass straight out of the cooler. I hated the taste of drinking buttermilk then and still do to this day - but it was awesome for cooking with. My grandmother made similar breads and rolls to soda bread, although she was from Kirrimur Scotland in 1900 by way of the Falkland Islands before ultimately ending up growing up in a soddy on a homestead in what was then Blackie Alberta. Her soda breads and biscuits, her yeast breads, her pancakes; it was all awesome - she got a lot of practice being the cook for threshing crews, roundups, etc.
Anyways, she used a LOT of buttermilk cooking. The thin/skim stuff they sell in the supermarkets today isn't nearly as good for cooking with (in my opinion), and I learned to bake from her. And I don't have cats or anybody in the house who will drink the leftover stuff if I buy the container size they sell to make fried chicken, pancakes, soda breads, etc. Sooo...
Try using the probiotic yogurt you probably have in your fridge i.e. Balkan style unflavoured full fat yogurt; add milk to that until you've thinned it to the consistency of half and half or whipping cream. Give that a go and then taste the results compared to a soda bread made with supermarket buttermilk. I believe the resulting taste is better than the store bought buttermilk or the substitute of adding cream of tarter to whole milk (which she occasionally did when there was no buttermilk).
Thankyou looks delicious
You're welcome 😊
Gráinne, I made an irish stew today for my dinner (it's Winter in Australia) and thought I'd have a crack at some soda bread. Although the soda bread turned out alright, I wish I had watched your video first. Thanks for some great tips.
Thanks David, nothing beats an Irish stew on a winters day 😁
Visited Ireland a few years ago. Just about every evening, we had some sort of vegetable soup (creamed, not pieces) and a brown bread with delicious butter. I've tried to figure out what bread recipe to use for that bread... maybe it was soda bread! I'll definitely try your recipe.
I'm glad it brings back memories, yes soda or could be brown bread, you can check my recipe in my channel for that also 😊
Soooo Fabulous...!!!
This is delightful 😊
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen And so it, most definitely, looks!! i do love Irish "Soda" [ ...or "Griddle", yes...? ] Bread, actually!
Looks really good. I’ll try it with some Kerrygold.!!
I just ate 1/4 of a loaf all by myself 🤪
I grew up in New York with Irish mother. My mother would break the loaf into quarters where the score marks were right when it got out of the oven to let it cool. She'd walk away and leave them there without a tea towel, but my brother and I would each steal a quarter and run away with it. Before you knew it the loaf was gone. Maybe that's another good reason to leave the tea towel on so the loaf has a chance to survive longer than two minutes out of the oven. My mother never got mad. She'd just make another loaf.
Ok, Grawnya, I boiled my cowboy coffee over because I was loving watching this.
And it was worth every single coffee grind I had to clean off the stove!
I make soda bread occasionally and always on St Patrick's Day. I didn't know about turning it over and tappjng to hear that hollow sound. Or about wrapping it to keep the crust from hardening too much. I think soda bread is very under rated. It's quick, delicious and very satisfying.
You look wonderful. Hope all's well for you.
Pray for cherished Ireland, friend. They are really being tried at present. :(
P.S. Watched this earlier when you first put it up. Did I remember? 🤪AAADD!
Ha ha, sorry about your coffee, I love this bread and it's so easy. Thank you 😊🤪
My attention was drawn to your Chanel posting of a "Irish soda bread" recipe !!
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us, as well as for adding to our expanding collection of useful information about baking "Irish soda bread."
It made me feel prepared and compelled me to do it.
I wish you the best of luck! :)
I'm so glad you liked it 😊
THANKS VERY MUCH GREAT VIDEO.
You're very welcome 😊
Freezing rain, snow and miserable here in NYC. Making this in a few minutes to have with our coffee this Valentine's Day morning. We have plenty of butter at the ready! Thanks for the quick recipe. Those 31 people that hit the "thumbs down" are crotchety types who are probably miserable that you threw in some raisins. We have names for them that I'll leave out of your comments. Good luck to you.
Thanks so much for your support 🥰 sorry for late reply, CZcams doesn't always notify me. I hope you enjoyed it.and so glad you had the butter ready 😂🤣
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen here were my results (i used part whole wheat). Happy Easter! loaf: i.imgur.com/WFOPQ02.jpg Slice: i.imgur.com/paAWj7H.jpg
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen Here I am a year later to say I still use this recipe. Hoping you're well. Cheers!
Thanks for this video! Now this is more like the recipe my grandmother used (Killarney, Co. Kerry). I don't remember her adding eggs or butter, and she always used sour milk (didn't like the smell of that, lol). Going to make this recipe to replace a different one I tried that flopped, and was doughy in the middle.
Hi Grawnya, I've recently subscribed with you, loving your video's so far & love your gorgeous Irish accent!...I'd love to know how long to leave the vinegar standing in a cup of milk?..I'm looking forward to making Soda bread the way my dear Irish Grannie used to make it! keep safe x
Hi Sharon, about half an hour is plenty. Thank you for your lovely comment. Be safe 😊
😋👌🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😊
I use 2 cups brown flour and 2 cups white and a bit if butter in mine before adding the buttermilk, my mums recipe. I'm Canadian but lived in Co. Clare for several years... I never thought to add raisins!
Yum, I sometimes use brown and white also, so good. I'll try adding a bit of butter next time 😊. I love Clare, my sister has a holiday home in Lahinch.
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen I use about 1/2 cup cold butter, yum! I actually lived in Lahinch on Ennisymon road, it sure is beautiful there! Glad I found this channel! 🤗
Great simple recipe Grainne. It’s so nice hearing that familiar accent. I am an avid baker myself but my brown bread never seems quite right. There is a chewyness missing. Any suggestions.
I know what you mean, do you add white to it as well? Are you abroad like me? The flour is definately different to home. I think the secret is to add extra white flour and I usually make it a little wetter. I made some last week with Indian wholewheat as I couldn't get better known brands the first was lovely and the second really dry.
Thank you !
Thank you !!!🍀
You're welcome 😊
Awesome recipe I just subscribed and can’t wait to try this with the raisins. Your delightful ~
Aww thank you Barbara, I hope you enjoy them 🥰
😊😊
Hi grawnya lovely soda bread you make it look so easy I was just wondering should I put the oven temperature at 170 or 180 because I have a fan oven hope to see more recipes from you
Greetings from dublin
Stay safe
Patricia obrien 🇮🇪
Hi Patricia, I Would start.at 180, check towards the end and if it's browning too much, turn it down for the last part of the cooking. I think it should be ok at 180 though
Hi grawnya
Made the soda bread today I made the mistake of cooking it in a sponge tin it had risen well but uneven I used the two cups of buttermilk do you think it was too much milk I wrapped it in a tea towel and when I cut into it later it wasn't cook probably in the middle do you know what went wrong
Could you let me know
Yours sincerely
Patricia obrien
Greetings from home,, 🇮🇪
I have a question. Can I add yeast to the warm milk? Thank you.
I used to call my grandma GRAM...irish DUNWORTH My momONIELL so you know I have ten grand kids see do the st.patricks dinner I make every yr I'm originally from chgo a live in ky now..
You can't take the irish out if the soul, glad you keep the traditions going 💞
Hi exactly how much flour should i use. Also love your vids.
4 cups is 17 ozs but you could round down to 1lb, glad you like the videos 😊
Thank you so much look forward to your next video.
When trying this recipe and mixing the buttermilk in with my hands, it stuck to my hands making it difficult. Is that supposed to happen? Also, there seemed to be dry "dough" (not sure what else to call it) at the bottom of my mixing bowl. Do you have any advice?
My gram was a great cook a dad a now my two boys a daughter cook good..a I try to let them enjoy st.patricks day ..have great day..
Get those boys cooking, my husband can't cook, 35 years married, I spoiled him 😂. My son is a great cook
We ate oxtail soup beef hard to find in ky.i was asvs kid chgo south suburban dolton.il now ky a keep Irish traditions love the sound of irish musicals a kid a now at sixty seven..now got ten grandkids or more..
We had the green river in chgo a parades a kids dress up..
The bread looks great, but I would love to see you cut it and show how it really came out...
I know, ai never thought of that at the time, sorry 😔
unclear as to what temp. you bake it at...is it 400 degrees?
Hi Tami, celcius (Europe) 200 degrees, farenheit (North America) 400 degrees
Hi there,my bread always seems to come a soggy in the middle where am I going wrong.kindvregards.Joe.
It may be the temperature, the oven should be very hot, try increasing it and see of that helps. Sometimes it takes a few times to get it just right.
Warm greetings from Malaysia Grawnya. I finally managed to make them . How should a perfectly baked soda bread feel and taste like?
Hi Audrey, it should be soft but firm, it is a heavier bread, not like a yeast bread. It has a lovely flavour from the buttermilk but I can't really describe it sorry. When baked it should have a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen thank you. The bread is dense and inner part of the bread was kinda springy. Is it because it's not completely cooled?
That could be the case. The thing with baking is, you sometimes need to do it 2 or 3 times to perfect it. This happened me with sourdough bread, it's all in the feel of the dough. How did it taste?
@@GrawnyasHomeandKitchen Hi Grawnya i heated the sliced breads , it was soft in the middle but on the crust and bottoms it's hard. Will try again.
What’s the difference in Irish Soda bread & tea biscuits?
Tea biscuits are more like a scone and have eggs and butter in the recipe. This is not as sweet, definitely more bread like. Delicious 💚
can this be made with gluten free flour mix?
I've never tried it but you could give it a go.
You can make buttermilk from a high protein plant milk, like soy milk or pea milk, using lemon juice or apple cider vinegar as the curdling agent.
Like Soda Bread but this one is extra nice and less fattening
Thank you 😊
Add cranberries and or white grapes!
Hello Gr'ainne, its me again!....I've got all the ingredients for Soda bread, but only 2 cups of self-raising flour in the house & none in the shops!..should I chance it & make a baby sized loaf? if so, do I need to halve the quantity of baking soda & buttermilk & also the 40 minutes to bake it?..I've searched Google for a baby loaf, but no luck!
Absolutely, just add milk until all flour is combined. Try baking for about 30 mins and then check it. Half the baking soda.
If using self raising flour add 1 leavel teaspoon of baking powder (not baking soda) add a out 2 ozs butter ; rub it in
Sorry forgot to say use fresh milk not buttermilk. Noreen
what if I don't want to use buttermilk?
That's fine, just add baking powder, it should work ok 😊
I'd like to make mulligan. Stew got a recipe
It's hard to find mulligans 🤣😂, did you mean mutton? My mam always made it, but it's hard to find in Canada so always make beef. I have a recipe on the channel for beef and oxtail if you are interested. 🥰
What kind of buttermilk do you use? Lowfat or full fat?
I'm not sure Annette, I don't have any at the moment. I just grab what's in the fridge section 😀
By definition buttermilk has NO fat. It's what is left after making the butter.🥰😇😊
Can this bread be put in a loaf pan?
I haven't done this one in a loaf tin but I would say it would work.
Gráinne, you are indeed very traditional with the use of your hands! -- Clearly, you are experienced and therefore not afraid to handle the dough!
The amout of kneading you employed in the presentation is also entirely correct! -- I hate how others use: spatulas; whisks and wooden spoons.
Making Irish Soda Bread is a theraputic art; therefore, I suggest getting your clean hands stuck right in there akin to how, you, Gráinne have doen and you kept it plain and simple!
I didn’t catch how much dried fruit you put in the bread?
1 cup
Thank you so much Grawnya. I look forward to trying your recipe. Thanks again for sharing.
I just made this, it looked great but the taste and texture was disappointing. It was a bit like cake but less sweet. The crust was nice and crispy but that's the only thing to recommend it.
Yes it does have a dense texture, sorry you didn't like it 😊
Graenya?? Not Gráinne? Good recipe.
Ni it is Gráinne but no one can pronounce it if I spell it that way 🤣 the Joy's of Irish names in other countries. My husband is Ciarán also 😊
Can you kindly add grams or pounds please as so many types of cups
Hi Clem, I copied this from Google, I hope it helps. What I will say, a lot of Irish baking is done by feel so after you make this a few times you will get to know the recipe better. Good luck 💚
A cup of all-purpose flour weighs 4 1/4 ounces or 120 grams. This chart is a quick reference for volume, ounces, and grams equivalencies for common ingredients.
www.kingarthurflour.com/learn/ingredient-weight-chart
Grawnya, Gráinne?
Gráinne but I live in Canada so no one can pronounce it so I spell it phonetically
no egg?
No, just buttermilk. It's so easy 😊
My mam always put the cross on it. My dad believed in alot of the puiseogs
My mam was a great storyteller and told me a lot about the puiseoga especially in rural Ireland. 😊
Great video, the soda bread looks delicious.. We've also got a few Irish baking videos on our channel, hope you check them out too..
Thank you. Yes, I'll pop over and takea look 😊
