I promise you, anyone can make a delicious loaf of soda bread! It’s a quick bread—meaning it’s leavened with baking soda instead of yeast (hence the name)—and that makes this bread speedy enough to make even on a weeknight. A lot of folks reserve soda bread for their yearly St. Patrick’s Day dinner (served with Dublin Coddle or Corned Beef and Cabbage, perhaps), but I urge you to break soda bread out from it’s March 17th box! It’s too delicious and too easy to be reserved for just one holiday a year. A slice of buttered bread rests on a brown and white plaid cloth. A bowl of butter sits in the upper left corner.

What is Irish soda bread?

Soda bread is a rustic wheat bread leavened with baking soda. Good soda bread is crispy and crunchy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside, with a tang from the baking soda. From my bit of research, traditional Irish soda bread is very, very plain—an everyday bread. But my favorite version has raisins and caraway seeds. I think the sweetness from the raisins and rye flavor from the caraway seeds takes this bread over the top!

Why do they call it soda bread?

Soda bread got its name because it’s leavened with baking soda instead of more traditional bread leavening techniques—like added yeast or sourdough starter.

It’s hearty, it’s easy, it’s delicious, and from my research, it’s a more authentic way to celebrate Ireland than corned beef (which apparently is an Irish-American thing—not from the homeland itself). Granted, I’m pretty much the last person who should be writing with any authority about Irish culture. The entirety of my education on Ireland came from this awesome Irish restaurant in my college town that I went to weekly. I don’t have many Irish ancestors (I did my family tree a few years back, and I’m 0.0000001% Irish). I’ve never been to Ireland. But hey, the whole idea with St. Patrick’s Day is that everyone is Irish, right? So I’m going with it. A silver serving spoon rests in a white pot of Dublin coddle. Pot sits on a white and brown plaid dishtowel.

What is Irish coddle anyway?

If you’ve never had Dublin coddle before, it’s somewhat like the Irish version of beef stew. It’s bacon, pork sausages, onions, and potatoes, all long-stewed in a thick brown gravy. Everything I’ve seen about coddle talks about its working-class roots. This isn’t a delicate meal. This is the kind of meal that can slow cook away in the oven for hours and hours and hours while you’re working hard, and still be delicious when you come home. Another tidbit I’ve read about coddle—every family seems to have their own special recipe. One true “authentic” version of coddle doesn’t really exist—it changes based on what’s available. Basically, you put whatever you have kicking around your kitchen into a pot, and it always turns out delicious. Because bacon. My version will guarantee tasty results, but feel free to channel your inner Irishperson and experiment!

It sounds like just the kind of thing us Americans would do to (put it kindly) make a holiday our own. I mean, think about it, have you ever tried to dye a Guinness green? Regardless of its origin, green beer is a decidedly huge part of celebrating St. Paddy's here in the Midwest (and I'm assuming the rest of North America). Most places just take the cheapest lite beer they have on tap, throw in a heavy hand of green food dye and call it a happy March 17th. As a rule, I try to keep the artificial food colorings to a minimum in my diet, so putting a big dose of the stuff in my lager wasn't going to cut it. But luckily, there are quite a few all-natural green dyes that work just as well as those little plastic bottles of food coloring. 3 Ways to Make Green Beer Without Food Coloring The first step to doing any kind of dye job on beer is picking the right beer. Like I alluded to above, if you choose Guinness, your results will be delicious, but, um, not green. The key is to get a light-colored beer. Now, you are free to use whatever domestic lite beer you want, but I actually prefer seeking out a craft-brewed American lager or blonde. They still have the light yellow color that allows you to dye them, but they don't taste like water (which after years of drinking really good craft brews, that's what I think all those mainstream lite beers taste like). For these photos, I used Lucky Girl Golden Lager out of Michigan. It's a nice, light beer (in color and in flavor), but it's got a wonderful crisp taste that will keep you drinkin' all St. Patrick's Day long.
