I love soda bread but have never tried it made with beer before, it looks fantastic slathered in butter!
Seems so simple! Is it as heavy as it looks? I've only ever made a couple of soda breads, but I do like barm/beer loaves!
Hi Sam.
I've never eaten it, or baked it before.
A red headed welsh chap, who could pass for Irish, asked if I'd make him and his wife some.
Hi Celia.
It's not heavy at all. Which surprised me too.
It's cake like, although it's definitely a bread.
Zeb's novice bread-baker friends made it too under her expert guidance.
That's where I picked the recipe up, on Dan's site, in the recipe link.
Ooh yes, ale in soda bread - great idea and will give this a go.
