On a bright weekend morning, I learnt how to bake some traditional Ulster breads: soda, wheaten and potato bread. I’ve wanted to do this for some time and when online recently, I discovered Tracey’s Farmhouse Kitchen. Use the link to visit Tracey’s website, which includes much more than bread making.
My hands were covered in flour but I did manage to take a couple of photos of what turned out to be a very relaxing and enjoyable time. Tracey put us all at our ease and her instructions were easy to follow, and along with her small team of helpers, we made plenty of fresh bread to take home. Marvelous! 😋😋😋
Tracey’s straightforward instructions and the friendly atmosphere gave us all confidence.
In the old days bread would have been baked on a griddle but these crepe hotplates worked perfectly.
Not bad for a few hours work and ready to take home.
The farmhouse is situated right on the shores of Strangford Lough in County Down and whilst there the sun shone, making my visit to the area especially inviting. The countryside and shorelines there are beautiful with lots of places to visit and things to do.

What a great idea
Many thanks, Ruth. 🙏
Looks so yummy! And what fun! I’d love that! Thank you for sharing! Wonderful!!
Thank you Karla, it was a fun day with only little flour on the floor. 🙏
That’s awesome, Ashley! Fun days and little flour-yippee! 🙏🏻 you’re welcome!
Congratulations! How great you got to do this in person and create 3 different breads. I used to make bread often, especially challah bread.
Lately I’ve been enjoying making cheese bread and Irish brown seed bread from recipes I found on FB.
Thanks Katelon, I’ll certainly be baking again, at home though. 🤗🙏
this is so cool Ashley. it looks like it was a fun time and i reckon those breads were delicious!
Hey Mike, it was a great learning experience with fun and only a little flour on the floor! 🙏

Great…you learned some traditional culinary art! These look yummy🙂
And we’ve eaten most of it since then! Will be baking more soon! 😋🍞🙏
These pieces look awesome. I’m a guy who can easily live on the basis of good bread.
Thanks Gerhard, simple, wholesome food is the best. 🍞🙏
That looks delicious, self made traditional bread is always wonderful. What a lovely idea to go and learn it so you can do it at home too. 🙂
Dear Ute, thank you and I love the smell of freshly baked bread! Yummy! 🍞😋🙏
BUONA SERATA
Thanks Giovanni. 🙏

Sounds like a lovely experience! Thank you for sharing it 🌹🙋

Yummy
What a great way to spend a day! (K)
Actually, it was really only a few hours and I learnt so much. It was good fun and I was in good company too!
Hungry already!
Sorry, John but we’ve eaten most of it now! 😉
Fun too! 😘
Thanks Bela. 🤗
Wonderful share and experience! 💛
Thank you Michele. 🤗🙏
Wow, they look delicous. Well done. 🙂
Thanks, Sharon, this week I’m hoping to try one of the recipes received but weren’t shown! A soda bread mix but with fruit, like a bannock. 😋🤗🙋♂️
That looks really good!
It was! All eaten now! Must make more!
Great post, Ashley!
Lovely pics! I noticed your friend’s bumble bee tablecloth. We’ve got exactly the same one. Small world!
It was a fun day, Jason, I’d even do it again especially as the location (Strangford Lough area) is a favourite of mine! Whilst there were only 7 of us, there was quite a buzzzz!
Oh what fun. I hear it is quite easy but it seems daunting to me.. I had a bread machine and got rid of it. What a joyful thing to do with others, Ashley! xx
Thanks Cindy, it really was a fun few hours. 🤗🙏
