An Irish meal wouldn't be complete without a lovely loaf of Irish Soda Bread. This recipe makes a beautiful high loaf of bread dotted with sweet raisins. It doesn't last long at our house this time of year. -Gloria Warczak, Cedarburg, Wisconsin

this was one of several loaves i made for st patrick's day and it was one of the best. the egg wash really gives it a nice sheen and makes it look professional.

How silly of me! Of course, it's not a yeast bread. Please ignore my previous question. Lovely loaf!

REALLY, you only have to knead this one minute?

How coarse is the crumb texture?

Did others only knead it that quick?

Thanks in advance.

With the day off from school, my 15 year old daughter wanted to make dinner ALL BY HERSELF! She searched through tons of recipes and came up with a Chicken/Potato Soup, this Irish Soda Bread, and a Chocolate Chip Cookie made in a iron skillet with warm caramel sauce. It was all yummy! She was so proud because her big brother had a second helping! I can't wait for her next day off!

This bread was so simple yet delicious. I made it for St Patty's day and it was a big hit. Left over bread was great the next morning with tea. I changed to 1/2 C raisins . Next time I will add a whole cup.

So simple, quick and yummy! Made 3 loaves for friends and 1 for myself. Definitely a keeper.

Made a beautiful high loaf. Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Great warmed up the next morning for breakfast.

I made this for St. Patrick's Day dinner. It was very easy to make & turned out well. However, this is just not our "cup of tea" so to speak. Maybe our problem is that we're not Irish.
