We all know that ‘soaking up’ alcohol with bread is a myth. What really makes a difference is having something hearty ahead of the celebration, which brings us to this recipe for delicious soda bread. Bread is such an amazing food that can enhance a big meal or be a meal itself… At least for me anyway đ
So whether you’re sopping up beef stew or spreading with ghee and eating it straight, you’re going to love our version of this St. Patrick’s Day Pre-Game treat!
Ingredients 4 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for surface 1/4 c. sugar 1 tbsp. baking powder 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 6 tbsp. cold Kelapo Ghee 1 c. dried currants 2 tsp. caraway seeds 1 1/2 c. buttermilk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheet.
2. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut in Kelapo Ghee until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in currants and caraway seeds, then buttermilk until flour is evenly moistened.
NOTE: For added fun, mix food coloring with the buttermilk before pouring onto crumbs to make a big loaf of green soda bread.
3. On a well-floured surface, knead dough 8 to 10 times just until combined. Shape into flattened ball; place on cookie sheet. Cut 1/4-inch-deep “X” into top.
4. Bake loaf 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack.
