About the dish

Soda bread farl is an Irish griddle bread that is also a staple of the traditional Irish breakfast known as Ulster Fry . It consists of flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk. Just like any soda bread, it doesn't contain any yeast. In the past, soda bread farls were prepared as a quick and easy snack for unexpected guests. The word farl in its name refers to the process of rolling the dough into a flat circle, then dividing it into four pieces. Apart from the Ulster Fry, these farls can also be served with butter and homemade jam or with savory ingredients such as fried eel, bacon, and smoked salmon.
