ARAN ISLAND SEAWEED BREAD

ARAN ISLAND SEAWEED BREAD

White soda bread is very popular in Ulster. It’s a very fast and easy bread. We are adding a twist to the traditional bread by adding some **Bláth na Mara – Aran Island Seamix.
The seaweed in this bread gives a very subtle savoury flavour of the sea as well as being a great source of vitamins and minerals!

This bread is delicious served with butter and smoked fish or a steaming bowl of chowder or creamy Mussels.
