Irish Soda Bread


Well, we started level 2 tonight, the night before Thanksgiving. Since I have to get up tomorrow to help make Thanksgiving dinner, I'm going to keep this short.

We are back to making breads, which makes me very happy! This is a traditional Irish Soda Bread. While it isn't my favorite thing, I really do enjoy it. It's a savory bread and the predominant flavors are a tangy-ness from the baking soda and buttermilk and an earthy but slightly sharp note from the caraway seeds. The currants, while not terribly sweet, help balance the other flavors by adding a note of sweetness.
