The recipe isn’t mine (it’s from Jen of The Nomadic Fitzpatricks— more on the backgound in a moment) and I am obsessed with it!

Gluten Free Irish Soda Bread For St. Paddy's Day (or Any Day)

It is super EASY to make, has the perfect outside crusty edges and then is soft on the inside and has the best flavor!

I met Jen through Pinterest and Instagram (one of my favorite parts of being a food blogger, on social media and part of an amazing gluten-free community! But, that’s another post for another day….)

My mother used to make Irish Soda Bread but I have no idea where the recipe is or where it originated and with St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I really wanted to make and share one here with all of you.

Irish Soda Bread

What I loved about Jen’s recipe, even before making it, was that it was a family recipe that she adapted to be gluten-free when she was diagnosed with celiac disease because she didn’t want to miss out on her family’s traditions.  Heart melting, I felt an instant connection because this is exactly how I feel about so many my recipes!

I loved that it was a family recipe! And I knew that if she adapted to taste like the one she remembers growing up, that it had to be good!

The outside was super golden and crusty just like a great bread should be. When you sliced in you had a wonderful bread with a perfect Irish Soda Bread flavor!

I immediately reached out to Jen and asked if I could share it here with all of you… she graciously said yes!!

I’m linking to the original recipe and Jen’s website The Nomadic Fitzpatricks so you can check her out — all her recipes look amazing!

I have a cooking video here on this page so you can see how easy it is to make this gluten-free Irish Soda Bread.

Gluten-free all purpose flour (I used GF Jules, affiliate link. Jen has made it with Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 and Cup for Cup flour)

As an aside, you may have noticed that we are affiliate for GFJules.  To learn more about why we love GFJules flour and why we have used it for 10 years, click here.

It generates a small percentage of the sale for me, and purchasing through an affiliate link helps me fund this website and all the recipes I share, so thank you!

Easy Gluten Free Irish Soda Bread Recipe

All you do is whisk together the dry ingredients.  This is always helpful because not only does it combine the ingredients, but it makes the flour finer which helps with the texture of gluten-free breads.

The one thing I did different from the recipe is that I used my kitchen aid, whereas Jen recommends mixing with a spoon.

The kitchen aid was easy and the dough isn’t sticky at all. With a spoon, it’s a little more arm work and the dough is stickier.

The only thing the kitchen aid may have done is added too much air to the dough because my bread you will see split open a bit more than hers. But it still tasted amazing!! So try it both ways and see what you prefer!

Gluten Free Skillet Irish Soda Bread

The texture of the gluten-free Irish soda bread is similar to my Gluten-Free Biscuits or Gluten-Free Scones. My kids said that it actually tastes like a giant biscuit.

It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this easy gluten-free Irish soda bread. I bet you already have the ingredients already in your pantry.

This gluten-free Irish soda bread was made with Pillsbury gluten-free flour. It is a cup-for-cup all-purpose gluten-free rice flour blend and already has the xanthan gum and starches in it.

Most gluten-free all-purpose flour blends have starches and xanthan gum already in them. The xanthan gum helps replace the elasticity and texture of gluten.

So make sure to check the ingredients of your gluten-free flour as not to add any extra xanthan gum to your flour if it already includes it. If you do, you will get gummy bread!

My favorite gluten-free flour is Pillsbury gluten-free. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.

Gluten Free Irish Brown Bread

It is super important to use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients (not a pyrex liquid measuring cup) to measure gluten-free flour. I measure the gluten-free flour with the “spoon & level” method.

I use a large spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup. Then I use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup.

Please do not scoop the flour directly out of the bag with your measuring cup. If you do, you could end up with more flour than is called for in the recipe.
