My friend Mary Manning was born in Ireland-and so was her easy-to-make bread recipe. Folks stand in line to get a slice. Serve it with butter, jam and a hot cup of tea. —Sadie M. Rotondo, Rockland, Massachusetts

on st patrick's day i made several different loaves of irish bread variations. although not traditional in shape, taste, or ingredients, this was a favorite with everyone. it is moist, tasty, and easy to make. a little on the sweet side, but that is a good thing.

Delicious! I did a mixture of golden raisins and regular and only used 1 Tbls of caraway seeds--just the right flavor without being overpowering.

The breads in Ireland are reason enough to visit that country! We stopped at a little tiny lunch place in a house in a village in the Republic of Ireland. We couldn't have found it for ourselves, but our Irish friends knew it was there. I think it was a bakery with a few tables for eating lunch. We had a wonderful barley & vegetable soup and a loaf of wheaten bread to slice and spread with butter. It was to die for!
