this is my first tuesdays with dorie recipe and link-up. i could not have asked for a better recipe to start off with because irish soda bread has been on the top of my to-make list for quite sometime. like i said in my previous post we have had some rainy weather so on saturday after hitting the gym i came home and whipped this bread up within five minutes. the oven warmed our house and the aroma was amazing as the bread baked away. i love my soda bread with currants and sanded with sparkly sugar. it just made me all giddy inside when it came out of the oven. i let the bread stand for about twenty minutes and then I cut a wedge for the three of us to share and oh-m-gee was it good! it hit the spot and made me excited about the rest of our st. patty’s day fare.
want to join in on the fun? head on over to tuesdays with dorie. you can find the recipe on one of the hosts blogs my culinary mission or chocolate moosey. or, you can pick-up the book, baking with julia.
Yours came out really well… I like the sugar all over!! 🙂
I also added currants, but I did not think of sprinkling the top with sparkling sugar. Your loaf looks beautiful!
I LOVE the idea of the sugar on top. I’m going to try that next time. Welcome to TWD I’m sure you’ll enjoy making your way through the book.
I am dyyyying. This looks AMAZING! I’m going to have to try it!
Your bread is gorgeous! And welcome to TWD:BWJ! 🙂
The sugar really makes it look pretty. We enjoyed this bread, too.
Beautiful! I love the sugar on top.
Your bread looks beautiful! That’s it, I’m convinced. I have to give this a another try today. My first attempt was not a winner but I can’t let this easy peasy recipe beat me. I think I will go your route and put sugar on the top. That sounds like a plan.
It looks great! interesting addition of sparkling sugar
Very nice bread. Very nice blog. Welcome to TWD!
YAY! So glad you joined TWD! The bread looks perfect, like everything you do. 🙂 🙂
