St. Patty's Day Soda Bread Rolls

St. Patrick’s day is big in the Boston area because of the large Irish population here. There’s a huge (drunken) parade with leprechauns dancing in the street and the bars are open all day as if it’s…. well as if it’s St. Patty’s day.

Growing up my mother would (sometimes) tint our milk green (ewww, I know) and I remember her making corned beef and cabbage a couple of times. We always made sure we wore something green that day (something about bad luck?). 

Even though I don’t have any Irish heritage it’s fun to partake in the celebration and these rolls are a perfect way to have a taste of Ireland. The great thing about Irish Soda Bread is the absence of yeast,
