Irish soda bread

I like to bake breads but I usually don't do it because I end up with way too much food. There is no way I can go through a loaf of bread before it gets stale.

And freezing bread? I think it ends up tasting awful when you pull it out of the freezer.

So yesterday I made an attempt at Irish soda bread for one.

This recipe doesn't really yield one serving but it does produce a small loaf that would give you enough slices for ,say, 3 sandwiches.

The dogs went crazy for this bread. They were camped out at the fridge when I placed the warm loaf on top of the refrigerator to cool.

This is why this morning I was left with this:

One slice for me and a slice for each dog and the loaf is half finished!

I adjusted a recipe I found here.

This recipe does produce a dense loaf.

I toasted up a slice this morning and had a mini sandwich for breakfast.

Tuna fish.

 

A small mason jar of Dunkin' Donuts coffee.

A juicy nectarine.

I think I will head to the store and pick up some yeast and try my hand at mini baguettes later today.
