Despite being predominantly Irish (37.5%), I never had Irish Soda Bread before. So when my friend brought over a homemade loaf, I ate most of it. The crusty outside, the dense inside, the sweet raisins…it was scrumptious. The first thing I wondered was how peanut butter would taste on it, and (of course) it was delicious. The second thing I wondered was how peanut butter would taste baked into it. After some recipe sleuthing and combining, I devised my own recipe to infuse peanut butter into this staple food of my ancestors. I don’t consider myself a baker, but this came out perfect the first time. St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner, so you should probably start practicing now….
