Garvey's Organic Traditional Irish Soda Bread Mix, 16-Ounce Box (Pack of 5)

This bread was very easy to make. I added a little extra buttermilk. Toasted it & served it with butter. It was delicious.

So simple to make and very tasty. I served it at a party and guests raved about how good it was. I reordered 5 more immediately.

This product was easy to make and follow directions. The bread baked exactly as instructions say. The flavor was a bit different than we are used to. We tried it numerous ways butter, jelly not so good, room temperature or toasted were very good and my husband and I did not have a preference. The bread is very filling and I would say if you adding to your dinner menu make the slices thin.

Everything about this bread was fine, but it didn’t have the density and flavor of the table bread I had when visiting Ireland. Have looked for a few years on-line but haven’t found it. Guess I’ll keep on looking.

It was a little dense but tasted great

Dough was really sticky, but the results were so satisfying! The bread was delicious and didn’t even last for a picture! I will buy more.

Basically inedible. Made according to recipe. Used powered buttermilk which I tasted separately to make sure that's not the source of the nauseating "ick" smell/taste.[I've made soda bread for years, I know the taste of buttermilk baked bread. It does not smell//taste "icky". ]As to the intense briny level of salt... Because I normally use my own blend of flours and grains I know one has to take into account the sodium level that even fresh buttermilk has when adding salt. You can't use the same ratio of salt/dry ingredients that apply in making yeast bread. Seems the maker of this mix isn't aware of this. And/Or there is something seriously wrong with this batch, because it also failed to rise despite following the directions, and that seems hard to account for.I suggest others avoid making the same costly decision to buy this because like me they can't get the flours and grains they're used to using for baking bread at home as usual. Just settle for buying already baked bread somewhere until it's possible to purchase the basic ingredients again. It'll be a LOT less expensive, and OK it won't taste like your own bread, but you'll actually be able to eat it. Not even the squirrels or the raccoons were prepared to eat this stuff.

This is such an easy bread to make! You need to have buttermilk on hand. I always make one large loaf instead of two smaller ones and use a parchment lined glaze pie pan to bake it. It is quite a dense bread. But that makes it perfect to have with a dinner of hearty homemade soup. You might want to eat it in one as it can get moldy with a couple of days. You can always make two smaller loaves and freeze one.
