“May the bread always rise before you.”
A family tradition each St. Patrick’s Day was Aunt Peg’s Irish Soda Bread. Delicious toasted with a cup of tea for an afternoon snack, it was a delightful, once a year treat every March 17th. We’ve adapted the recipe to be Blood Type Diet friendly so everyone can enjoy. As the Irish say, Sláinte!
Editor's note: This is an Irish soda bread recipe that doesn’t use baking soda. It’s not a typo, it’s just exactly the way Aunt Peg made it.
