St. Patrick’s Day is only a few days away, and if you’re already starting to plan out your Irish-inspired menu, we have three very different soda bread recipes you should consider!

No. 1: Clodagh McKenna's Thyme-Herbed Soda Bread

First we have a traditional Irish soda bread from the woman known as the “Irish Rachael Ray,” Clodagh McKenna. She says that serving this classic recipe to your guests is a true “Irish welcome.”

Tip: To check to see if your bread is done, knock on the bottom of the bread (carefully since it will be hot), if it sounds hollow inside, it’s done!

No. 2: Irish Soda Bread Waffle

Next, we have a fun recipe that would be perfect for a St. Paddy’s Day breakfast. Aussie chef Curtis Stone adds extra baking soda, caraway seeds, buttermilk and raisins to his recipe to give the waffle that “soda bread” flavor.

No. 3: Clodagh McKenna's Baileys Irish Soda Bread Ice Cream

Wait... what!? Soda bread IN your ice cream? Where do we sign up! Clodagh toasts soda bread crumbs with brown sugar and folds them into a beautiful vanilla custard. Then, simply pop in the freezer and stir every so often – no ice cream maker necessary!

Tip: After you remove the seeds from a fresh vanilla bean, dry the bean and add it to a container of sugar to get vanilla-flavored sugar.
