Our Brown Soda Bread
Based on an original Cork recipe (via Galway), and adapted for smaller use. Aidan's original recipe makes 60 loaves! We have so many requests for the recipe, it's now printed out at Reception!
Ingredients
Method
Simplicity itself! Mix dry ingredients together, pour in wet ingredients, mix to a sloppy dough. Put in oiled, warm loaf tins, bake in the oven at 185°c for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 150°c for a further 25-30 minutes, or till done! Turn out and bake for 5 mins. more- Enjoy!
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
