rosemary goat cheese irish soda bread
one loaf for about an hour's work
ingredients
1 3/4 cups of buttermilk
4 1/4 cups (530 grams) of all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
5 tablespoons (70 grams) of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup of goat cheese crumbles
1 tablespoon of dried rosemary
honey (for serving)
instructions
preheat oven to 400º F
whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and rosemary together
incorporate the butter using a pastry cutter, fork, or my preferred method—fingers
do this until the butter chunks are pea-sized
gently mix in the goat cheese crumbles
fold in the buttermilk using a wooden spoon and mix dough until it's too stiff to stir
move the dough to a lightly floured surface and form into a ball with floured hands
continue to knead the dough for about 30 seconds, or until the flour is evenly moist. don't hesitate to add a bit more flour if it's real sticky
transfer the ball of dough to a cast iron skillet and cut an X on the top using the sharpest knife you have
bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until the center is cooked through
note: the crust should be golden brown, so you'll want to cover it with foil if it starts to darken before it's done baking
let cool for about 10 minutes then serve slices with a drizzle of honey

1 tablespoon of curry powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
instructions
preheat oven to 400º F and line/grease a muffin tin
combine the sweet potato, coconut milk, oil, and eggs until smooth
in a different bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients
add the dry stuff to the sweet potato mixture and stir until well combined
scoop the batter into the tin, filling each to the top

slowly whisk in the dry ingredients to eggs and oil
once the mixture is smooth, gently stir in banana slices
