Recipe development by Kylie Mazon-Chambers
Kylie Mazon-Chambers of the blog came up with these delicious soda bread dinner rolls after our trip to Ireland earlier this year. They’re studded with chopped sun-dried tomato pieces and just enough ground red pepper for a bit of a kick and, finally, topped with Cheddar. Fine more Irish recipes in our July/August 2020 issue!

- 3½ cups (438 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon (2 grams) paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1½ cups (360 grams) whole buttermilk
- ¼ cup (40 grams) diced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ cup (52 grams) shredded sharp Irish Cheddar cheese
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 medium shallots (75 grams), thinly sliced
- 10 tablespoons (140 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon (3 grams) flaked sea salt
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, kosher salt, paprika, and red pepper until combined. Make a well in center.
- In a medium bowl, stir together buttermilk and tomatoes. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. Using one hand like a claw, slowly fold flour mixture from sides of bowl into buttermilk mixture until dough is soft but not too wet.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into an 8-inch square (1-inch thickness). Sprinkle with cheese. Using a sharp knife, cut into 9 squares, and place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool on a wire rack.
- In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, pour oil to a depth of ½ inch, and heat over medium heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 350°F (180°C).
- Fry shallots, in batches if necessary, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes, adjusting heat as needed. Remove shallots using tongs, and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate for 5 minutes.
- In the work bowl of a food processor, place shallots, butter, and sea salt; pulse just until combined, and transfer to a small bowl. Serve at room temperature with warm rolls.
