I am so lucky to call Margaret my Grandma! This bread an absolute staple in the Ward and Galati household. Grandma has been using the same square pan for the last 50 years. Thankful my Dad took the time to document this process.

Your a lucky fellow Kevin and please tell your mom her recipe will be made and enjoyed and with each piece eaten will be a reminder of her in this video. Bless her heart!!! Thank you for sharing her !!! Please ask her for me if she remembers hearing anything about a Charlie Kerins, he was my ex-husbands relative on his fathers side, being only 2nd generation Irish-American himself. Would she, if she does know be willing to share as I'm trying to do genealogy and with both of my in-laws gone now, information is a hard thing to find from anyone who is still around. The publication found wasn't real specific only enough to say he'd been hung being with the IRA.... so any more info would be a welcome thing.

3 cups white flour 3 cups wholemeal flour 2 level teaspoons baking soda 2 level teaspoons of salt 2 teaspoons of suger Mix well - add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional) 16oz buttermilk (can use rmix of regular milk and yoghurt or juice of a lemon) Mix very well - add little more milk if needed. 12 x 12 inch pan - lightly greased. Spread out Score the top 400 degress for one hour on middle shelf Allow 2 hours to cool off after turning it out.

In case anyone is interested - King Arthur Flour Co. does make a coarse, wholemeal flour. It is called (coincidentally) Irish Style Flour, and is made from red wheat.

I was worried because of age in this age of COVID 19. He very kindly questioned my plea and confirmed that she is well and feeling fine. A BIG THANK YOU TO DR.

Thank you so much, Margaret! I am 25 years old and trying to recreate some of the recipes my grandmother used to make and this video made me tear up thinking of her. Will be trying out this recipe this weekend after the Odlum's flour is delivered!

Y’all didn’t wait until the oven preheated. It looked like it bothered her. She said “I’m waiting for it to be 400. She is so precious.

If you would like make this while camping get some buttermilk powder. Mix in with the dry ingredients and bag with a vacuum dealer .To make bread in the field simply add water and knead.

WHAT A WONDERFUL IRISH RECIPE!! THANK YOU MARGARET!! I HAVE ROOTS IN IRELAND AND MY GRAMMA MADE THIS BREAD. IT IS SO GOOD!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. ☺

Legend says that the cross on the dough is to bless it. The small marks are to let the fairies out of the dough so that they will not ruin the bread while it is in the oven.

I couldn't wait to try this recipe for our St Patrick's Day Potluck Dinner at our community center. I ordered the Odlums Flour but didn't come in on time. So I substituted with wholewheat. I thought it was going to be a flop BUT it was the biggest hit of the entire dinner. Everyone loved your Recipe. We ran out of it. Next year I will have to make a double batch.

My family is from county Armagh. My gran makes soda bread with flour, buttermilk and salt. That's it & it's great! Gran didn't kneed it & just plopped in on a flat pan. Blessed it & let the fairies out.

An awesome lesson with a very sweet and gracious teacher.

Love it! What a lovely mother you have! Mine passed a few years back... took me back watching you really savor walking through a special treat with your mom! God’s blessings!

Made with love , from the heart and blessings from above. I am home baker for some years now and i can say with confidence this is the best ever bread I have seen.

Margaret, Thank you so much for the bread making lesson! And to the family...What a great way to share her and keep her and experience her forever! I so wish I had done some like this with my mom.

We make little marks like that in the bread 'to let the fairies out'. I never saw anybody spread the dough out into a square before. Where I'm from in Ireland, it's shaped into a round cake, then a deep cross is cut into it to help it rise to the right shape. Also, butter is rubbed into the dry ingredients rather than olive oil. When it gets out of the oven, wrap it in a clean wet towel for a softer crust if you like.

Thank you I so enjoyed this so much thank you for sharing your family

How kind lady and how beautifull smile. She looks absolutely happy. I will prepare this recipe. It is great to keep old ways of our elders. Thank you very much from Spain

Thankyou so much, so m uch, dear Margaret. It is so moving, so nice, so xweet, to look a t you making the bread, and hear your voice. I'm from Brittany, so a bit a celtic cousin (our languages gaelic and breton are cousins, even if breton is much closer to welsh). I saw a lot of irish soda breads various recipes, but yours is really different, with il, and cooked in a suare pan, so in my cooking notebook it will be calle "Margaret ward irish soda bread" (or maybe a nice irish nmame for Margaret, such as "Molly irish soda bread, a Margaret Ward recipe" ! . I was told that the holes on the bread, (between the arms of the cross, were to let the fairies go out, for them not to play with the bread and damage it while it is in the oven. IWe, celt people, we like the fairy tales, the fairies. so I llike this thinking about the holes in the bread. So, Margaret, kisses from Brittany (west of France).
