Dark Irish Soda Bread

[thaigerd]

There are more and more Irish Pubs in Thailand opening but (as far as I know) nobody is offering an Irish bread.

That's why I have tried to make an Irish Bread today;

here's my result:

Meanwhile I am doing a German style Rye Bread with sour dough, may be some pix later on.

Looks good (and I also miss Irish soda bread!) How did it taste??

[mickmac]

That looks quite good, any chance of any Boxty? Hot, straight off the pan, with plenty of butter spread and melting over it, along with a nice mug of Tea????

Taste was(is) quite good for me, I've never eaten or made it before.

Just made it just for fun to see how it looks and tastes.

Friend of mine is opening very soon an Irish Pub here in Phuket and I would like to give him some for his opening.

There's a company: Schmidtlook here

they have branches in Bangkok and Phuket, they have a lot of these ingredients.

But you can find them in good supermarkets as well.

Wow, Irish Soda bread reminds me of home. It sure looks good, well done. There's also a white soda bread. My mother used to make both and something in between with a mix of white and brown flour.

Did you use buttermilk? If you can't get buttermilk, sour milk (not too far gone) is a good substitute.

Boxty, where I came from, was a potato bread, usually baked and sometines reheated in a frying pan, it was fantastic. Again my mother used to make all sorts of potato cakes which bring back the best of memories.

Could you send me your recipe for the Irish soda bread? Or post it hear?

[JohnC]

with the simple ovens round here things are either full blast or off...you must experiment. either that or have thaigerd suggest something suitable...

the general question being, how to modulate oven temps for baking when oven temps are not controllable???
