Irish Bread - Soda and Potato Farls
About
A demonstration by Mary Collier on how to make traditional Irish bread using a camp stove.In the north of Ireland, the national dish is the Ulster Fry. That’s fried bacon, sausages, fried egg and a bit of potato bread and soda bread farls. Though the quality of Irish bacon and sausages shouldn’t be under-estimated, it’s the breads that make it unique.
Soda farls are cooked on a griddle rather than in an oven. It was designed to be something that could be made quickly if guests popped in unexpectedly for a wee cup of tea – this happens a lot in Northern Ireland.
Irish potato bread is a staple everyone should know how to cook. Simple to make using only four ingredients - potato, flour, butter and salt, they are also cooked on a griddle. They are a perfect accompaniment to an Ulster Fry
Born in Belfast, where Soda Farls are sold at local bakeries, Mary has worked on producing good results at home and is happy to pass on her tips to making these traditional Irish breads
