Soda Bread Brunch Pizza
This recipe combines classic Irish cuisine (soda bread and a full Irish Breakfast ) with a more recent family favourite (pizza). We bet you’ve never added oregano to your loaf before!
It’s ideal for lazy weekend mornings, catching up with friends, or getting a special day off to a great start.
And if you’re not a morning person, you could get the kids to measure and chop your ingredients the night before, leaving less to do when brunch rolls around. Just make sure to store everything safely again (for example, meat in the fridge) until you’re ready to cook.
May’s session of Kids in the Kitchen with GEM gives our gang a chance to fuse cuisines and prepare a dish to remember.
At 5 pm on Tuesday 21st May, join us on Zoom for an hour of cooking, GEM spot prizes, chat and fun.
see you all then guys
