Irish Soda bread is a St. Patrick’s Day favorite but I am going to let you in on a little secret.  9 years ago when I started my Gluten Free journey  I couldn’t make bread to save my life.   I had so many flops that I was dubbed queen of the failed loaves.  however We had one heck of a thanksgiving our first year because I turned all those failed loaves into stuffing cubes.

Months down the line I gave up cooking your traditional yeast, I have to rise type breads and found a recipe for an Irish soda bread.   It looked good so I tried it minus the raisins/currents and for the next year or so this was our staple for breads.  Since we loved a french bread type bread anyway this was a great sub. (you can add cinnamon and raisins for a cinnamon bread which was also good)

So If you are not Bread Savvy yet with the yeast breads give this a go  or enjoy the traditional way for your St. Patrick’s Day feast this year.

Let me know how it turns out for you.
