  1. Thanks for sharing! I've been looking for a good wheaten bread recipe and excited to try this one (that flour is now 26$ on Amazon..crazy but I'm sure it's worth it). My Granny was originally from Monaghan as well 🙂

  2. What a sweet and fun treasure of a lady. Enjoy that grandma/mom as much as you can. She reminds me of my late great grandma Martha. Record more videos of special food she cooks. You’ll be glad you did. Bless you Margaret!

  3. So wonderful to see this amazing lady recreate bread that has been made by her family in Ireland for generations,it isn't a soda bread but still looks delicious, the only other thing that is not totally Irish is they didn't have olive oil,if recipe needed fats they would have used lard,obviously this lady lives in America so she makes do with replacement ingredients,also most soda bread recipes don't include egg whites and all kind of ingredients that I have seen, irish soda bread is the easiest bread to make,no proving,just mix and bake!

  4. Oh isnt she just lovely. X I'm from Southern Ireland ( Limerick). Living in England . I'm def off to get some buttermilk now and make her lovely cake bread xxxx and some real Irish butter to go with it and a nice mug of Barry's tea xxx

  5. The cross is to bless your house that your bread doesn't burn it down and all that dwell there get along as one acord. A pinch in each corner to allow the faries out so they don't run a muck and do evil tricks. LOL

    The cuts in the top allow the air out . If you don't slice the top of the bread it will crack in between the top and the bottom, you'll either get a bottom of a slice or the top, never a whole slice you'll get!👍😉 I'm not lying 🤥🤭

  6. Irish soda.
    4 cups plain all purpose flour
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    14 fl oz buttermilk
    Bake in oven 205 c for 30 min

    Tradional irish bread did not include butter, oil or sugar. It was baked with basic affordable rashins.

  7. I loved watching and listening to Margaret. She reminded me so much of my Mammy we lost in 2017. She was a great cook baked her own soda bread and cakes born in Co Kilkenny. Thank you for the memories. 🥰

  8. Yea Margaret!!
    U R fabulous! I'm in beautiful Southern Iowa. Today Dec 30 2022. Appreciate u and family to teach us this recipe. It's 3am couldn't sleep but now need to go to store for buttermilk. Happy 2023 share a smile everybody, kindness works!!

  9. Maybe this works with Odlums but it doesn’t with plain whole wheat flour and white all purpose that you buy in the States. You’ll end up with a bone dry morass. Have at least double the amount of buttermilk on hand to keep adding till you reach the consistency you need. Better yet use a better recipe or buy Odlums to experiment.

  10. WHAT A WONDERFUL IRISH RECIPE!! THANK YOU MARGARET!! I HAVE ROOTS IN IRELAND AND MY GRAMMA MADE THIS BREAD. IT IS SO GOOD!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. ☺
