Spotted Dog Irish Bread
19
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...

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.
