This Irish brown soda bread is the real thing! It's made with whole wheat flour, oats, baking soda, and buttermilk. Because it must only be handled very lightly, it can never be made in a bread machine.
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 0.33 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2.5 cups buttermilk
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
-
2
Mix whole wheat flour, bread flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Gently mix in buttermilk until a soft dough is formed; knead very lightly. Divide dough into 4 pieces; form into rounded flat loaves. Mark each loaf with an "X" and place on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Banoffee (Banana Toffee) Pie
An absolutely decadent banana-toffee pie, recreated after a trip to England. This is a fairly common dessert in Britain, with layers of banana, gooey caramel, and whipped cream on a graham crumb crust. It's very sweet, so a small piece goes a long way! The cooking time may seem long, but that is simply the condensed milk caramelizing on the stove. Top with chocolate curls if desired.
Instant Pot Fresh Steamed Oysters with Spicy Butter
This steamed oysters recipe makes the shellfish easy to open up and tender without any rubbery texture. I've made baked, grilled, steamed oysters on the stovetop, and even air-fried oysters, but steaming in the Instant Pot is hands down the best method.
