ooooooohh! I made this bread last night with a big pot of Cream of Chicken soup and it really hit the spot. It was quite cool and rainy here and it was a perfect soup and home-made bread kinda evening.
I just used the Bear Creek bag of cream of chicken, but I always doctor that up with an extra can of corn, carrots, and the diced chicken in a can. But the bread is the topper! It just doesn’t get any easier then this…
Irish Soda bread
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup water
1 Tbl. apple cider vinegar
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.In large bowl place all dry ingredients. Sift them together with your fingers. Make a well in the center and pour in the water and vinegar. Using your hands, mix and kneed the dough until you form a smooth ball. Add small sprinkles of flour and/or water if and as needed. Kneed for about five minutes. Form back into a ball and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten slightly. score an X in the top of the loaf. In small bowl beat one egg. Brush the egg over top of the loaf to give it a slightly crusty top. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and wrap in a cloth for an additional 30 minutes. When it is time to eat it, the bread will still be nice and warm. It is soooooooo yummy! This is a little bit heavier of a bread so it’s perfect to use with soup instead of a spoon. Give it a whirl!
This is Me
Hi, I’m Cyndi! I am a wife to a wonderful God-fearing man for almost twenty years. I am a mom to an ambitious comedic eighteen-year-old son and a spirited fun-loving sixteen-year-old daughter. I love to cook, create anything I can think of to make, talk and visit with friends and even strangers, and of course I love to write. Along with the writing, I love to read what other people write as well. I would love to live in the south somewhere but for now I live more in the suburbs of a town in Michigan. Oh yeah… and I’m almost blind. This means that I have to do things a little differently. It takes a little more time and a little more patience to get things done, but they get done. I was told of my eye disease when I was nine years old. At forty-four, they still cannot diagnose what I have for certain. However, I won’t sit still while they try and figure it out. Each day brings different challenges and some of the same as well. Navigating new territory is the most difficult thing for me to do, but I refuse to be held back and take the chance on missing out on an exciting new adventure. My bucket list holds adventures like parasailing, visiting Ireland, having at least one book published, and I’m sure there are more that I haven’t listed yet. Painting word pictures is my therapy and sanctuary. I use life as my brushes and paint. Lite me a candle, put on the spa music and a-writing I will go. Come on this journey with me, I hope you can find some new colors you like.
