I just made this, i think i needed to leave it in the oven a little longer but the pair of us ate the whole thing in one go, with the obligatory ton of butter!

First time have made bread was this morning - thanks a mil for this!

I felt like the spirit of generations of Irish mammies and grannies were channeling through me

I made this just now, top notch! I've eaten half of it already, but i'm interested to see how to tastes tomorrow too, like how the texture changed. The thing is at school about 30 years ago, i swapped my school dinner for a sandwich from this lad in my class. And it was a jam sandwich with butter, and it blew my mind, it just melted in my mouth i'd never tasted anything like it before, and i asked him what it was, and he said it was soda bread and that his mum had made it. Now i've got a long bloody way to get my soda bread to that level, but by god you've started me off in the right direction :) Thank you my friend :)

I brought a bag of Irish wholemeal back from Ireland after making lousy brown bread properly. Pastry flour is what you want in the US, it's lower in gluten than all purpose. I've had great results using it and you can reconstitute whole meal by adding the bran and germ back. 80g PF, 17g Bran and 3g germ is the ratio. We have a local dairy that makes a whole milk buttermilk, much better than what you get in a supermarket.

Wonderful. I will make it tomorrow morning.

Growing up in Ireland we had this all the time. It’s really nice toasted too
