In this hands-on Irish bread-baking experience, you’ll step back in time to learn the cherished traditions of Irish baking. You’ll craft your own soda farls, wheaten bread, and potato bread (or “fadge”) from scratch. After your baking session, gather around for a cosy lunch with freshly made seasonal soup and enjoy the breads you've baked.
