\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to really harness the Irish spirit on St. Patrick\u2019s Day, skip the gimmicky green beer and green desserts. Instead, make something that\u2019s truly part of Irish culture. When I was in Dublin a few years back, I quickly discovered that Guinness beer really does hold sway over the small island country. And along with that beer was served plenty of Guinness bread \u2014 a dark, chewy, semi-sweet \u201csoda\u201d bread. <\/p>\n

Soda bread, as a category, is defined by its use of baking soda as the primary leavening agent rather than yeast. It also almost always uses buttermilk as the liquid, making for a sweeter final product. Plus, it\u2019s a very easy type of bread to make, as you\u2019ll see. <\/p>\n

While dark bread often gets its color from dark flour, this one gets its color right from the beer. Don\u2019t worry though, the alcohol gets cooked off in baking, making it perfectly acceptable for kids and teetotalers too. <\/p>\n

Serve it alongside corned beef and cabbage, mashed potatoes, and any other Irish-themed dish you\u2019re concocting to celebrate St. Patrick. <\/p>\n
