    I’m from Galway. If your dough is too wet no problem .Pour it into a meat loaf pan with a layer of parchment paper on the bottom and a tiny amount of cooking spray on sides.pops right out . Have a great St Patrick’s day ☘️

    Thanks so much. I lived in Ireland for a while as a teenager. I LOVED soda bread. The first day we were in Ireland, our neighbors woke us up with eggs and Irish soda bread, both still warm. I haven't eaten it for about 40 years now. This is one recipe I'm going to make for sure. At least I'll make it once our grocery stores have anything on the shelves again. F'ing COVID-19.

    1) Isn’t coarse whole wheat flour the same as thing as Graham flour?
    2) I would like to suggest a “What’s eatingDan?” episode about gelatin (collagen). I wonder if you might talk about ratios for different degrees of gelling (broth with body to jiggly desserts to gummy candies) and using a pressure cooker to speed up making soups and stews without losing the natural gelatin from the meat.
    Thanks!

    • @Zelmel
      @Zelmel 4 года назад +1

      I suspect coarse whole wheat flour and Graham flour are so close to each other that they're basically interchangeable, but there may be some differences (like Graham flour is usually unsifted as far as I know)

    • @janepoultney5207
      @janepoultney5207 4 года назад +1

      The difference between graham flour and regular whole wheat flour is that the components of the wheat grain, the bran, germ, and endosperm are separated and ground separately.

    You could also grind your own wheat berries. Put the entire lot through the grain mill once, set aside 1/3 of that. Put it through again, set aside 1/2 of that. Put the last 1/3 though the mill. Now you've got rough, medium, and fine flour. Perfect for brown bread.

      My mother's heritage is 50% German and 50% Irish. Grandma was the 100% German but she was born on Saint Patrick's day and had a knack for finding 4 leaf clovers. She married a 100% Irishman so Saint Patrick's day has always been extra special in my family. We always made our own Irish soda bread. I never knew raisins were a common addition to soda bread until about my early 20s when I happened to see it in store made loaves. I'll stick to keeping raisins in my oatmeal raisin cookies. To me, Irish soda bread seems like it should be a savory bread so I don't think I'd like it with raisins myself.

    You bless the bread by putting a deep cross in it (the real reason is it helps the heat get to the centre of the bread & for the bread to expand outwards during baking) you then prick with a knife the 4 quarters. This is to let the fairies out. So, cross is blessing, pricking, letting fairies out. Big no no putting baking powder in. It’s over powering in taste & totally unnecessary. One last thing, Donal is pronounced Dough Nol.

    I'm sorry for US that doesn't have the most basic ingredients to bake wholesome bread. And moreover, why on earth is speed so important? Look at this clip and all you see when slicing into those breads are lots of breadcrumbs. That much breadcrumbs never happen with bread that has risen from traditional fermentation (using yeast or sourdough). And such bread is also so much tastier.

I don't care about making the bread as traditional as possible. I want to make the bread as good as possible. If using your hands actually does something for the bread, then sure. But otherwise I'm using a mixer and I would actually like to know if that is ok or not.
