I found this recipe for irish soda bread to be very easy to prepare and very tasty. I added my own variation by using a combination of golden and dark rasins along with a very small amount of lemon rind. My whole family just loved it! Read More

This dough (or should I say batter?) is way too wet. I had to add almost an extra cup of flour. The recipe says to pour dough onto a floured board and shape into a loaf. After chasing the batter around the board for five minutes while adding flour to give it body I was finally able to "pick it up" and put it in the pan. I will try this recipe again but cut back on the buttermilk. Read More

The bread was excellent. The hit of the dinner. Dense but not tough at all. Made without raisins or caraway and was still excelent. Also good dipped in coffee. Read More

My recommendation is to skip the part about putting it onto the board. Scoop this right from bowl into the springform pan. It was delicious moist fast and very easy. Read More
