Redstone Bank
Spring 2013
Giddy Up, a success story... 


In 2008 I found myself working for a company that was going broke. I had to venture out on my own to ensure my financial well-being. I started implementing my plan and spoke to the two banks that I had done business with for the past 20 years. They were big banks with no connection or loyalty to me. After numerous road blocks and an insurmountable amount of paperwork, I knew they weren't going to help.

 

I was introduced to Redstone Bank by Matt Osbourn, who serves on the bank's board of directors. I was approved for the loan that would change my life and help me realize my dreams.

 

I love banking at Redstone. They know me by name, and they know who I am and what I do. They have supported me financially as well as professionally. It's like banking in a small town but having big city amenities. Everyone is so friendly and pleasant to work with. It's the best experience I have ever had with a financial institution.

Soda Bread Recipe
a must for St. Patricks Day
Martha Stewart

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup apple-cider vinegar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface and dusting
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
  • 1/4 cup caraway seeds
  • 1 cup (5 ounces) raisins
  • Salted butter, preferably Irish, for serving
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Mix milk and vinegar in a small bowl, and let stand until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add bran, caraway seeds, and raisins; stir to distribute.
  3. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture; stir until dough just holds together but is still sticky. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat and press the dough gently into a round, dome-shaped loaf, about 7 inches in diameter. Transfer to prepared sheet.
  4. Lightly dust top of loaf with flour. With a sharp knife, cut an X into the top, 3/4 inch deep. Bake, rotating halfway through, until loaf is golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Soda bread is best eaten the day it is made; serve with salted butter.
