March Baking Challenge

This month I wanted to challenge everyone to make a classic for March – Irish Soda Bread!

Don’t be intimidated by the word bread. This is a quick bread that uses a leavening agent (baking powder and baking soda). Hence the name “soda bread”.

I have a couple options for you to customize it as well and make it your own.

Here is how to participate in the challenge:

1. Make this Irish Soda Bread – I used half whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. But you can use all purpose flour if that’s what you have. Or try using white whole wheat flour instead of traditional whole wheat flour which will give it a softer texture. You can try baking it on a cookie sheet or my favorite way- in a cast iron skillet. Then customize it how you want – add raisins, orange zest, or currants. Or just keep it plain – the most traditional way!
2. Take a photo and share it by March 31, 11:59 EST. You have two options on how to share your photo:
   1.  Share on Instagram. Just be sure to tag me – @bostongirlbakes and use the hashtag #bostongirbakes
   2. Facebook Community – I have started a brand new private Facebook group just for us! If you’re not already inside, click here to request access. Please note that I approve everyone manually to ensure the community remains a fun and friendly place, so it may take several days for your request to be approved.You can submit to one or the other, or to BOTH for two entries. Woo hoo double entries 

The Prize

This month I will be giving you a chance to win your own apron from Flirty Aprons of your choice ($30 or less value) + a $50 digital Amazon Gift card. I love my Flirty aprons – they are just so cute. They have aprons for women, men, and kids! Plus kitchen tools, farmhouse signs, even organic kitchen cleaning products!

Every person who submits a photo following those directions will be entered into the random giveaway! No purchase necessary.

And don’t worry about taking that perfect photo.  The winner will be selected randomly. Your photos may be put on display to share with my entire audience! I will message the winner via the platform they posted the photo on (Facebook or Instagram). Winner must reply with their address to receive the gift card.  If there’s no response within 48 hours a new winner will be chosen. I will purchase the gift card through the Amazon website.

So what do you think?! Are you up for this month’s baking challenge?!
