         “We love the amount of excitement generated from recipes that date back to the 1800s,” said bakery owner Patricia Diaz. “It’s truly astounding how beloved these breads have become over the years. We love knowing our breads will grace tables this month, especially for special Lent observances and Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations.”

One of the most popular breads this month is Irish Soda Bread. This recipe originated in the Irish Isles around 1840 and features a cross sliced in the top, which some believe wards off evil. This bread became a staple of the Irish diet, served warm or toasted with a dab of butter and preserves. Order and reserve your Irish Soda Bread for March 17th.
