SMOKED SALMON ON IRISH SODA BREAD WITH CHIVE BUTTER
Steps:
- Slice the soda bread into thin slices, about 1/4-inch, and cut each slice into a rough 2-inch square until you have 16 pieces. Wrap the remaining bread in plastic wrap and store in a cool dry place. Mix the butter and chives together and spread a small amount onto each square. Top with a small fold of salmon and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put the oatmeal into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Pour into a bowl and add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, raisins and caraway seeds. Stir well to combine. Pour the buttermilk in and stir quickly until well combined. Shape the dough into a round about 6 inches in diameter and put onto a baking sheet. Place into the top half of the oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly brown on top. When tapped, the bread will give off a firm, hollow sound. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bread. Choose good quality butter, buttermilk, and smoked salmon.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the dough just until it comes together and then stop.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to develop flavor and texture. You can let it rise in a warm oven or in a sunny spot on your counter.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and has a crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
- Serve the bread with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, cream cheese, jam, and honey.
