IRISH SOUR CREAM BREAD



Irish Sour Cream Bread image

This is a delicious twist on the traditional Irish Soda Bread, that omits the "soda" entirely and substitutes sour cream for the traditional buttermilk. I think it makes the loaf more moist, sweet and delicious. It has become my favorite version. My husband got it from a colleague, whose great-grandmother (Mary Moriarty, born in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland in 1902) handed it down to her. Bravo Mary Moriarty!

ANITA'S SWEDISH BRAIDED BREAD RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Anita's Swedish Braided Bread Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-25138

Number Of Ingredients 13

For Topping:
Yields 3 Breads
2 cups dairy sour cream
2 packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
2 eggs
6 cups (approx) all-purpose flour
2 cans apple pie filling
Toasted Almonds
Buttercream icing

Steps:

  • Heat sour cream in microwave until lukewarm. Add butter to the sour cream. (This allows the butter to soften) Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in sour cream, butter, sugar, eggs and 2 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto well-floured board and knead until smooth - about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover, let rise in a warm place until double in size, about an hour. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Punch down dough; divide into 3 equal parts. Roll each part into rectangle and place 1/3 of the apple filling in each bread. Cut along the sides of the dough with scissors and pull the dough across the top of the filling to create a braided effect. Place on a buttered cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. While warm, brush with icing and sprinkle with toasted almonds. *If doing the tea ring instead of the braid, roll the dough into a rectangle and then turn into a circle and place apples in the center of the dough. Wrap the ends then make cuts to show the apples.
