Irish recipes

I am Irish. So when St Patty’s Day rolls around, I do celebrate my Irish heritage with Irish recipes. One of which is a recipe for traditional Irish soda bread.

Traditional Irish Soda Bread

For me, making a recipe for traditional Irish soda bread is a bit labor intensive. In fact, many bread recipes are just that, labor intensive. How can I make Irish soda bread without so much work?. Could I take that bread recipe and make it into an Instant Pot bread?

Instant Pot Bread

I found out, yes you can make Instant Pot bread! However, an Instant Pot bread will come out small and round because you need a small cake pan to bake Instant Pot breads in. Need to keep that in mind for bread making with an Instant Pot.

Irish Soda Bread With Raisins

Traditional Irish soda bread recipes can be with or without raisins. If you make the bread without raisins, then you use caraway seeds. My family loves Irish soda bread with raisins, we like the soda bread sweeter so I chose to make this Instant Pot bread with raisins. You do not have to make this Irish soda bread with raisins, you can leave them out.

Traditional Bread Ingredients

What are the traditional bread ingredients in this Irish recipe? For a soda bread recipe you need:

• flour
• baking soda
• salt
• buttermilk

Why are these ingredients needed for an Irish soda bread recipe?

Buttermilk acid reacts with the baking soda and that is what makes the best recipe for traditional Irish soda bread. Then I bake this Irish soda bread recipe in the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot makes it so soft and chewy.

I may not have a lot of Irish recipes on Seduction in the Kitchen but my Irish grandmother would be happy with this Instant Pot Irish Soda Bread. Why? Well, I am making a recipe from my Irish heritage and because I made a modern version of an Irish classic recipe!
