This Irish Soda Bread was just like I got in Ireland every morning for breakfast! It was great! I think next time I make it I will add just a pinch of table salt. It was quick and easy to make and it went well with corned beef and cabage. This bead should also go great with the Beef Stew with Guinness Stout also a great recipe.

Delicious! I made this (along with 8 other Irish recipes!) for a St. Patrick's Day meal for our whole family - and this bread was fabulous! My children have requested I make it often... so guess what's in the oven right now! Thank you for a super easy and tasty recipe!
