Soda bread is the bread for people who don't have time for bread — no yeast, no proving, no kneading to speak of. The one rule is to handle it as little as humanly possible, and Chef Emily kept telling people to stop working the dough. Overworking it is why most home versions come out tough. Mine had a proper crust and a soft crumb, and the whole thing took under an hour from start to eating it.
Tessa
I've eaten a lot of soda bread in Ireland and this is a fair version, though the raisins make it closer to a spotted dog than a plain loaf — which is no bad thing. The orange butter is the part I hadn't come across and it's the best idea in the session; zest beaten into softened butter, and it transforms the whole thing.
Amara
I bake regularly and the useful detail was the buttermilk reaction — it needs to go in and into the oven quickly, because the rise starts the moment it meets the bicarbonate. Dawdling costs you height. That single point explained why my previous attempts had been flat, and the loaf I made afterwards at home was noticeably better.
Mateo
Booked it around St Patrick's Day and it was a better fit than the drinking-themed options we'd looked at, not least because everyone could take part regardless of whether they drink. The beer tasting sits there as an add-on if you want it, and the coffee sampling covers the rest. The bread comes out of the oven near the end, so the session finishes with everyone eating something warm.
