Odlums Quick Bread Irish Farmhouse 450g (15.9oz)

I've purchased this several times. The instructions are easy to follow and results in a loaf that is so good, you'll think you've gone back to Ireland. Just be mindful not to overbake it or it will be a little crumbly. However, even the mistakes are good.

This mix was very authentic tasting, and I would know I lived in Ireland for five years with an old woman who constantly baked bread lolVery simple instructions and straightforward. Easy to use even if you mess up the recipe a little bit it has some leeway.All in all a very good attempt for the price.If you can’t get to Ireland, this is the second best thing.

This was pretty nice bread, super easy to make. It came out a little dense but I might not have baked it long enough.

After visiting Ireland with my family, I realized how much I loved the brown soda bread that we purchased in the grocery store and also enjoyed in many restaurants. I have never found a way to make it or buy it in the US until I found this! It bakes up great and is absolutely perfect- I will continue to purchase and bake this incredible bread!

I can't eat yeast breads so I finally discovered a recipe for soda bread. I wanted to try Odlum's before purchasing a big bag of flour and I am now hooked on this bread.I used to bake yeast bread often and I missed it. I am so happy that bread is still possible without yeast.The batter is wet, not one you have to knead, which helps to produce a soft interior and the flavor is not like the "whole wheat" that I've made before, it's much, much better and doesn't taste like whole wheat at all, which I thought was amazing. It also has that outer crunchy texture which is great. I baked it in a 1 1/2 qt Le Creuset loaf pan which was the perfect size.I buttered the top of the loaf when it came out of the oven because the exterior was so hard. But then I read to cover the bread with a tea towel..which I believe also softens the exterior. So I did both, buttered the top and after the butter soaked in, I covered it lightly with a tea towel and the hard exterior transformed into lightly crunchy.I love the texture of the bread and the slightly sweet flavor. My only issue is the cost for one loaf seems a bit too much at $9.50.

I had just returned from two weeks in Ireland and was craving some of that delish bread. I ordered this mix for a girls' dinner party. It was not quite the same as what we remembered, but it was lovely with some Irish butter, black Irish butter, and jam. It was a little dry; maybe add a bit more liquid to the mix. Would buy again.

Very tasty brown bread. Very easy to make. Very thick and hearty. Farmhouse is a good description. Found it went well with tuna salad.

Wow.. this mix totally resulted in a moist, squishy, tasty brown bread.. hopefully bigger bags are an option because I will be making this again.. absolutely YUM 👍🏻
