Irish National bread week begins shortly!
Practically every culture around the world has a number of characteristic breads and Ireland is no exception!
There are probably few who do not equate the word 'Irish' with 'soda bread' or 'potato bread', but there is much so more going on in the Irish bread scene than what we see on our supermarket shelves!
Artisan bakers are popping up all over the place and craft breads can be seen and purchased at local farmers markets, may be served with your meal in a local restaurant and you may even find them on sale in shops, coffee shops and deli's.....keep your eye out for roadside signs too!
I am lucky to be only 10 minutes away from the wonderful Scarpello & Co bakery who specialise in making breads from natural yeasts and organic stone ground flours and baking them using traditional wood-fired methods in their brick oven. you can read more about them HERE!
So if you prefer to loaf about instead of baking your own, then get out to your local market and see what's on offer...it could be the greatest thing since sliced bread!
