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.
over 60 yrs now :)
So happy you have such a wonderful gramma and dad. You're blessed.
I wrote a comment and I hope you pass it on to her for me.
Thank you Margaret Ward
How is Margaret doing?
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.
thank you
it didn't duplicate .
seems like a lot of salt. One tsp would be plenty for me.
Thank you
Brilliant lady! Like my mothers bread in Ireland 😂
That's my grandma! And I can tell you that she's as sweet as she sounds. Terrific video that captures her true personality and her delicious brown bread recipe.
Kevin Ward she is adorable!!! I enjoyed her so much
She's so sweet! I wish I lived next door. She reminds me of my Grandma. I miss her every day.
So sweet...motherly lady!
Hope she’s still with us on March 30,2020. She’s adorable! Love the brogue ! My grandma , a Sullivan, ( who I was named for) was from County Kerry. I didn’t know her but I’d like to think she was like your grandma ( but with a Kerry brogue)
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.
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.
Thank you!
I don't have the Irish Style (yet), but wanting to use the Whole Wheat bread flour that I have, happily came across this video. Will be baking tomorrow or the next day...Yummy!
Frank Kolton thanks for that information!! I have to look for it not sure which store may have it.
Thank you!
King Arthur also has awesome organic flour, and I heard the company is Employee Owned, too!!❤
When my granny made wheaten bread she'd Bless the bread with the cross, and a knife prick in each quarter, to 'let the bread fairies out!' 😊
Gaggy Mott I was just about to add that comment too 😂😂😂 god I miss my nannie 😢😢😢 xxx
omg just the same as my granma..those fairies got into everything lol
They must be very tiny fairies.
How sweet. I like to know about different cultures recipes for bread making.
Ah, yes! Christianity and pagan animism in the same bread technique.
To my fellow TH-camrs
To those of you who fell in love with the fabulous Margaret WARD and her wonderful IRISH Bread Recipe I contacted Dr. Joe Galati and asked if his dear mother -in -law was still with us as of April 7th,2020. 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. Galati for his kindness in relieving our fears! YOU GO, My fellow MARGARET AND KEEP On baking THAT BREAD! I think Dr. Joe is originally from Long Island too! Shout out from another Long Islander to him too❤️
good inquiring . important these days
God's Blessings on ALL especially the Salt of the Earth...the Irish.
thank you and same too you . blessings . hearty . healthy . godly
thank you recording and sharing this recipe. we need the wisdom and know how of our elders to be preserved and passed on to the younger generations. she is a lovely lady.
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!
Dia Dhuit! Lovely lady making soda bread. My grandmum and mum made soda bread. Best bread ever! My mum made it with currants and caraway seeds. She cut a cross in it with a knife (to bless the bread) and baked it in a round cast iron skillet. We'd eat it with slathers of butter and a pot of tea. She absolutely loved orange marmalade too. Yum. Go raibh maith agat agus athbhliain faoi mhaise dhuit ó New Hampshire!
Inkdraft my family made it with caraway seeds & currants also! Yum! Our family came from County Mayo
Just here to say dia is muire duit! 😉
DIA IS MUIRE DHUIT!! 💚FROM SOUTH FLORIDA!!
oh yes marmalade
l. o. l I have a skillet now I can try this Nana would be proud. go ira
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.
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.
OR THE DEVIL NOT ALLOWED INTO THE KITCHEN

Ahhh yesss be liking that one better haha.
E Kay
Ahh Baked Fairies kind of hard to think of the poor things baking away now haha.
Ah, yes! Christianity and pagan animism in the same bread technique.
oh God bless . I'm from n
y. c store bought my whole life .. grandma did this way fr ira.
I’m from the north of Ireland not far from Monaghan. I really enjoyed watching your lovely mum. 💕
Wow! No eggs no butter no raisins no caraway seeds... this recipe sounds very authentic because I’m sure most folks didn’t have all of those things, just a bunch of hungry kids! Thank you Mrs. Ward & Family. 🙏🏻
Thanks!!
No kneading the dough, just pressing it down, this is the best and easiest soda bread I have ever seen. Make the cross to bless the bread and make the marks to let the fairies out. Thank you for sharing, Blessings ☘️
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).
Z?
"I don't throw it in, I pour it in", (at 7:13) absolutely brilliant, I enjoyed that!!
Yes. Me too. Food is to be respected
Thank for sharing this special moment. That bread looks great. I don’t think I could stay out of it. I agree that some good Irish butter and marmalade would be grand. Slán agat
My granny on my mother's side was called Margaret Ward from Co Tyrone Ireland My mum made lovely bread just like that
Thankyou. Margaret l loved the video Kathleen Griffin
The cross is the Christian blessing and the extra slits are to let the fairies out (so they won't make mischief).
l o. l
I wrap mine in a tea towel after it comes out of the oven to soften the crust and I don't add any oil just flour, buttermilk and bicarbonate of soda and salt.
I don't put it in a pan either!
I do too 😊
@Sweetpea I recently added an egg but my son didn't like it but I did get a really good rise. Also I used kefir instead of buttermilk and that worked really well.
Could you do other Irish dishes ? I can't stand another " chef" opening with happy St Patrick's day in there big white coats .it's just more then I can take .
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.
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!
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. Thank you so much for posting this video. I can only hope you will pass this information to Margret Ward herself in Ireland.
Thanks for the kind remarks.
Go raibh maith agat to Margaret. This recipe works well, though I use all wholemeal in the Wexford style of my father's family. This video helped me recreate something like my mother's bread.
God love her! ♥️ she reminds me of my mum. Sounds like she's hardly lost any of her Monaghan accent 😀 I'm curious to know how long she's lived in the states?
Thank you Margaret. I live in Australia but was born in Ireland and it is just so lovely to tune in to some real Irish culture. I remember eating Soda bread when I was young and am looking forward to making some now. Your skills are admirable. You are clearly comfortable with the process of baking and being in the kitchen. Loved the video thank you again
Omg I love her 🤗 she reminds me so much of my grandmother, such a sweet lovely lady, they don't need measurements, they cook by eye and just throw everything in 🤣 I just subscribed to your channel hoping there will be more videos of this lovely lady cooking more Irish recipes.. maybe an Irish stew or some coddle 😍😋
Thank you Margaret. Just made your recipe and it’s delicious.
They put a cross in it to let the Angel in and the devil out your ma has the northern Irish still that's cool greetings from Ireland
Thx Margaret. Sweet Irish lady from across the pond.
traveled far today .
Made this today
Was delicious thank you
Hi Margaret! We proud of you teaching skills. I love your brown bread and especially the cross ☦️ in the bread. My mother always made a cross because the Lord Jesus is the bread of life and we’re reminded of His body given for us on Calvary. Jesus was born in Bethlehem which means the house of bread. All blessings from Wexford in Jesus name forevermore Love from Sean and Angie in Christ Jesus
I’ve just finished my brown soda bread and from Dublin . That is a very beautiful special fun Irish Mother ...🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🙏🙏🙏
Franbo28 Fran if you were really from Dublin you wouldn’t be calling it brown soda 😂😂😂
I’ve never heard of “brown soda bread ”
It’s a wheaten farl 🤦🏼♂️
Paul Thompson I’m also from Dublin and I won first prize with the gas company for my BROWN SODA BREAD many years ago
new too I . God bless . I'm born n y. c. ancestry DNA it's. b b.
thank you God bless
Thank you so much for a lovely entertaining video. With the present problems on Covid 19 in the world we are all trying to be a bit more creative and this video certainly fits the bill. So many of these videos leave waste in the bowl and on the utensils but Margaret was not having any of that as she used every bit of the mixture. The only down side is that I would have loved to have seen the bread cut to have a nosy at the inside. I'm Irish and live in Scotland so I will definitely be trying this recipe once I manage to obtain flour as it is in short supply just now with everyone panic buying. Thank you again for a lovely, informative and very nature video.
irene robertson agree. Making here too in the Midlands UK, as I can’t get Yeast in the current Covid19.
My mum would tap the crust and knew by the sound ,if it was fully cooked with no uncooked middle.
Such a darling woman. You are blessed having her for a mom. I will give this recipe a try as soon as I find the coarse whole wheat flour. In Boston, I'm sure to find it locally. Looks great!
Elaine Campbell 7
You sure will!! Love Boston!!❤
I think if you have a Vitamix, you could grind your own whole wheat berries to a coarse flour. It would be a lot better than $18 a bag--that's crazy!
Which store in Boston? Do you happen to know?
I love this lady.
Thanks for posting. I’m away from home and can’t get soda bread so please thank you Ma for her help.

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.
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. ☺
Thanks mama.we are blessed to learn from you. You are so graceful. A motivation for all womanfolk.
You're a lucky man to have such a sweetheart mother-in-law and if that is your wife in the background, you're even luckier! Thank you for this video. Will absolutely try this but I'm sure it wont be even as close as good cause the magic is in Mum Margaret Wards' hands!Cheers from Montreal, Quebec...
That man is getting on my nerves .
Yeah...I'd love to listen to her stories while she baked ❤❤❤
This lady is so cute.
when Irish eyes are smiling....wanted to see some butter and y'all eating...ty😃
Thank you so much for sharing. She reminded me of my grate- grandma Elsie also from Ireland. We had lost her recipe but I wanted to make it for St. Paddy's day.
Thank you for making this outstanding video. My grandsons will visit this summer and I plan to make the bread with them and also to watch your video for a wonderful little lesson. jo ann
What a sweet GranMum, In these days of the CoronaVirus I am learning how to make bread at home, then I found this beautiful recipe and Mum. GOD bless her!
What about yeast
@@juliemetaxa1480 Irish soda bread doesn't have yeast. The bicarbonate of soda make it rise a little.
Loved watching this I will be making this ❤️ looked at all different recipes made a few years ago they were aweful Thanks Margaret I’ll carry on your tradition I went to Ireland twice and loved the brown bred 😍
The male person in the back ground .... STOP TALKING we want to hear the lady that's making the bread .
Very much beautiful 🤩🤩❤️❤️ super duper delicious 😋🤤😋🤤 grandma ❤️ you are a beautiful woman ♀️👠💖💝💖 appreciate your work ❣️❣️ so much
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. I am sure it is soul satisfying too. You are lucky to have her around. Compliments and thanks for sharing her love with us. God Bless !
Oh isnt she just lovely. X I'm from Southern Ireland ( Limerick). Living in England . I'm def off to get some buttermilk now and make her lovely cake bread xxxx and some real Irish butter to go with it and a nice mug of Barry's tea xxx
Irish soda.
4 cups plain all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
14 fl oz buttermilk
Bake in oven 205 c for 30 min
Tradional irish bread did not include butter, oil or sugar. It was baked with basic affordable rashins.
One should never cook with iodized salt. Sea or kosher salt is best for baking. All purpose white flour? For bread one needs to use bread flour. It makes the bread softer and smoother and needs to be sifted, according to Jacque Pépin and Julia Child. Olive oil? Feh. Four table spoons of cubed butter smashed in the flour mixture is best. Num num num.
This is just soda bread, savory, without dried fruit or caraway. The one with the caraway and fruit doesn't have the Odlum's in it. It's just flour, sugar, fat, salt, soda, raisins and caraway.
Just in case anyone wanted to make the sweet one!
Notice that Mrs Ward is concerned that the temperature of the oven has not yet reached 400 F. She knows the rise is dependent on the heat and the reaction between the buttermilk and the soda. Always wait for your oven to reach its temperature before adding the buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Work quickly and get it into the oven asap. BTW the Odlums Whole Wheat is fantastic tasting. Pricey buy worth it. Don't buy it at $18. With a little searching you can find it for less.
Thank you for sharing your recipe, Margaret! I made some Irish bread yesterday from the #UnofficialHarryPotterCookBook and I wan’t sure that I did it right, although it was super delicious but looked a bit odd.
Thank you I so enjoyed this so much thank you for sharing your family
Thank you Margaret.... you are so sweet and your bread looks fabulous.... I will try it. I see you don't use Currants. The only Irish Soda Bread I have ever had was made with Currants and it was only available from my local grocery store during the month of March, unfortunately. I think I might just love to live in beautiful Ireland, instead of Los Angeles. You were lucky to experience that life (in my eyes, anyway).
Susan Cruz
Brown bread foes not have currants or raisens
Thanks for this.
Reminds me of my grannies and my my mom.
I will try it.
Ive watched this before i love watching this well done margaret happy 2023 xxxx
She's beautiful...and so happy ...what a blessing .thank you for sharing
Thank you!
Thank you for the recipe…a different and easy way for this old guy to make an alternative to sourdough, have a touch to Irish roots.
The extra pokes in the corners is to let the fairies out as the fairies can make mischief
Great recipe!!! Thank you from Italy
Olive oil made from those famous Irish olive trees.
Oil? I never saw oil used to make traditional Irish soda bread.
Oil or butter,what ever was available......sometimes margarine.
@@kieransavage3835 my family live in remote part of Tipperary and used to only ever use butter. It was collected from the creamery every day when dropping off the churns of milk. Never saw oil and God forbid margerine. It was butter on everything.
Fantastic. Lovely Irish lady with simple homemade traditional recipe xxx love from scotland x
She's so sweet,and I just love her accent. God Bless her.
A real Northern Irish accent.....so soft....
Amazing this lady is from my home county of Monaghan in Ireland. ❤️
Thanks for watching!
I shall try it. I use raw milk that has soured instead of buttermilk.
My mother a Wexford woman from Ireland made brown and white soda bread, in the 1960's she couldn't get butter milk in the UK then and the glass bottled milk still had cream on the top, not homogenized, so she would put a tea spoon of vinegar in a pint of milk over night it worked for baking just the same.
This is a very dear video. I enjoyed the Love and music. Very nice.-----Patrick VTown Paddy
Thanks. Margaret enjoys the positive comments!
What a delightful gal!!! A real treasure.
Margaret needs her own channel, I don't want to get notifications on poop and diseased liver. Margaret is just like my Irish family, just a cutie pie.
That’s what I do…
How about in Florida? Where can we find the whole meal coarse Irish flour..........
Not sure. Ask your local grocer to order special. Otherwise, Amazon has it but the price is $$$. Maybe worth a treat for yourselves!
Wonderful, thank you.
A lovely lady and sweet as the day is long! Thank you, ma’am, for sharing your delicious recipe and especially your charming style and grace. God bless you, and for putting up with his constant interruptions! LOL Dude! Manners! I’m baking this loaf in the morning!
thanks Margaret, hello from British Columbia Canada, ps love your laugh
Thank you Margaret, will make it on St Patrick’s Day !
You remind me of my most beloved Oma, grandma Margaret, I love Irish soda bread and you are so sweet and special, your family is blessed by having you. You stab into the dough to get the fairy out of it. Lots of love to you
😀👌🏻🌾🇮🇪☘️ lg aus Wien-Österreich 🌏🇪🇺🇦🇹 2022 ☕️🍰
My wonderful mam rip used to make beautiful bread .sometimes she would make it on the frying pan .i miss my mam so much and her lovely bread.this brings back wonderful meomries of when we had her with us.she was the best.love tina ireland.
So it’s basically a scone dough, rather than bread which would have yeast? x
You don't usually put buttermilk into a scone mix
Bernice Wade I know, they have milk in
I was meaning that it will be the same texture as a scone, rather than bread x
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I am Scotch-Irish and I make a an Irish soda bread that is festive and tasty with orange zest, dried cranberries, raisins, and vanilla for a different flavor sometimes. Sponcollagizer7
What a lovely woman,sending regards from Tenerife,Dublin woman here watching,what a Pleasure xx

Thank you!
Today April 4 looking for a recipe to do with my daughter couldn't found some much beautiful to watch. She is adorable. God bless her and protected. A little tiers just imagine that people like her we have to protect from this situation (covid-19). What adorable lady. Hugs From Montreal Canada.
An awesome lesson with a very sweet and gracious teacher.
What a delightful video!! Several years ago, I vacationed at Castle Leslie in Monaghan. I stayed a night or two at a B&B owned by a older lady from America who had married an Irishman and moved to Monaghan.. I very much enjoyed my visit. I had hoped to meet the chef at Castle Leslie and learn how he made their soda bread, but it was busy and I felt like I was in the way... lol.. Thank you for the recipe! I will try this soon!
GRAND MA WOULD KNOW, OLDER WOMEN/MEN ARE WISE. LISTEN TO THEM... (:
I love your mother-in-law, Margaret! She is delightful and so lovely to listen to. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I hope you are making video recordings of her telling you about her childhood in Ireland - that would be a treasure for you and your family! I wish I knew more about my grandmother's life, who was from County Cork. I lost her when I was about 12.
I just watched another,said 30 mins at 200. I made it and it was perfect
Wonderful!!
