One of my fondest memories as a young Irish lass growing up in the country town of Ballaghaderreen, County Roscommon, Ireland, was the sumptuous smell of Irish Soda bread baking on the hearth. My eight siblings and I couldn’t wait for the moment the bread was ready and mother (Granny Roddy) served it to us warm with fresh cream butter and homemade jam. At 14, the daily honor of making this delectable treat was passed on to me.  Seventy years and literally thousands of loaves later, (my eight children and seventeen grandchildren were raised on it too!) I am still baking my family’s secret Irish Soda Bread recipe. Now, I would like to share it with you.

Because only the finest and most nutritious ingredients have been used in making this product—no salt or yeast and low in sugar—you can serve this wholesome bread to your family with pride and confidence. Bake a loaf, brew a pot of tea and who knows? You might find yourself transported back to the Auld Country. Enjoy!
