St Patrick Day

Happy Friday 

And I'm sharing my dough bowl decorated for St Patrick Day.....

My dough bowl is in a long narrow shape, like a bread loaf. 

I filled it with natural ingredients from my  yard and touch of gold shamrock. Then I added the fabric shamrock and clover pillow. 

Pillow directions......

The small square pillow was cut into a three inch square from unbleached cotton. Then one one , I stencil the shamrock ☘️ and painted it green. Then after drying I stitched around and stuffed with batting and then closed it up 

My background sign.....

My sign I purchased for 50 cents at our local resale store that is now closed. 

No dough bowl

Us a wooden charger from DG with a battery operated candle in the center. 

Irish Soda Bread

 

The unique texture of soda bread is a result of the reaction between the acidic sour milk and baking soda, which formed small bubbles of carbon dioxide in the dough. The shape of soda bread is also steeped in tradition

• 4 C flour
• 4 Tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 C softened Margarine
• 1 c  Buttermilk
• 1 egg 
• 1/4 C buttermilk
• 1/4 C butter, melted 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

•  mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.

• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Check for doneness after 30 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter mixture while it bakes.
