✨️🍀1 hour Bread Machine Irish Soda Bread🍀✨️
Ingredients
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup + 2 T buttermilk
2 eggs lightly beaten
2 T butter
2 T molasses
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 cups cake or bread flour
1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions:
Place all ingredients in the bread machine, ensuring that the liquid ingredients are at the bottom and the dry ingredients are on the top

I set the weight to 1lb and chose the dark color setting - all together it took about an hour and 25 minutes from start to finish!
Allow bread to set for 10 minutes before removing it from the bread machine
Serve warm with Irish butter and jam!😋
Serve it warm with a generous spread of Irish butter, and let each bite transport you to the rolling green hills of Ireland. And if you find yourself with leftovers, fear not! This bread makes a delightful partner to your morning cup of tea the next day.
So don your green attire, gather your loved ones, and let’s raise a toast to St. Patrick with this deliciously easy Irish soda bread. May your day be filled with laughter, joy, and the warmth of shared traditions.
