Spotted Dog Irish Bread
14
Josh Lovejoy
"This is my family's traditional St. Patrick's Day bread. My grandmother has had this recipe for longer than I've been alive. I was SHOCKED to find out this wasn't real Irish Soda Bread, but instead more commonly known as Spotted Dog. Whatever you call it, it is unbeatable topped with a bit of butter."

Turned out awesome! I actually made a few changes that turn out pretty well. I added about a quarter cup of brown sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon, and it really adds to the flavour. I also bake...

Delicious and very easy to make. I used half the amount of sugar called for in the recipe and it still has a nice sweetness and very good texture. It browned quickly so I tented it with foil abo...

Very good. Sweeter than I expected. Will try it again with less sugar. I did use 2 cups of whole wheat flour to add some grains and it turned out really well.

The recipe is very well written and has good flavor, I haven't ever had this type of bread to have anything to compare it to. It was very easy to make. I think mine came out over baked as the ed...

This is an amazing recipe! It most definitely is not "soda bread," as it's made with baking powder (not soda), and it is sweeter than I expected. That notwithstanding, it is delicious. The only ...

I cut this recipe in half using a smaller cast iron skillet. I had a bag of dried raisins, cranberries and cherries so I used this mix. Very pretty when I cut the bread. Very good and I will def...
