Part 5/8:
The star of this ice cream is the humble loaf of Irish soda bread. Historically used to minimize waste, this recipe was born out of resourcefulness. You will need approximately 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of brown bread crumbs—these can be fresh or stale—crumbled into fine pieces to retain texture.
Flavoring the Bread Crumbs
Into the crumbs, mix melted butter, salt, granulated sugar, and a hint of cinnamon—a seemingly unlikely combination that elevates the flavor profile. Bake these crumbs at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown, creating delightful caramelized nuggets to be folded into your ice cream base later.
