Being from an Irish heritage and having soda bread all the time growing up, I thought this was an amazing recipe. I was searching for a recipe that didn't need yeast (because I have the hardest time keeping an eye on it) and came upon this. It was incredibly simple to make, took hardly any time, and fresh out of the oven it tastes so delicious. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all!

I made this tonight to serve with turkey and vegetable soup. It's a really great recipe! My whole family reallyenjoyed it. I only made a few minor changes: 1) I halved the recipe, but used a whole egg and a TB or two of extra flour 2)Honey instead of sugar 3) For the glaze I used one egg white beaten with 2 TB of melted margarine. I baked at 350 for about 28 minutes and coverd it with foil while it was cooling. PERFECT! Even better with a little honey drizzled on top.

Very tasty. Needs either some raisins or honey/butter on top.

This is a very good and authentic tasting bread recipe. Even though it tastes a little biscuit-like to me, my Irish mother completely approved and reminded her of the old country. I like to make buttermilk pancakes and then make this bread with the leftover buttermilk. UPDATE. I made it again, but I substituted 1 cup of whole wheat for AP. Still came out great. I also split the dough into two balls so that it will cook more evenly and I can freeze or give away a whole loaf to someone else.

This bread is terrific. I served it with potato soup and it was the perfect pair.

I made this for a dinner party as an addition to Irish Lamb Stew and it was a huge hit. I made no changes to the recipe whatsoever. As with the stew there were no leftovers at all. As a matter of fact I am making it again today for a friend who is having surgery. Unbelievably awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this!

The soda bread was good, but it tasted very similar to the southern biscuit. It was good for what it was , but biscuits are much better. I believe I will try using a biscuit recipe next time and make one huge biscuit.

I first made this recipe using half bread flour and half whole wheat pastry flour. It was alright, but when I made it the second time with all white bread flour it was fantastic. I baked it at the recommended temperature until the top started to brown and then reduced the heat to about 325 until it was done inside.

This bread was very easy to make, and looked pretty. It's not something I'll make often, but it will do if I need bread in a pinch.

I was not impressed with this bread. It was very dry and did not have much flavor. I have never made or eaten soda bread before so I am not a good judge as to what it should taste like.

This is fantastic. Beware: it does come out with a slightly dry and crumbly crust, but that is just to soak up the delicious corned beef & cabbage juice! It has a wonderful flavor that gets rave reviews every time I make it. The only thing that I disagree with is the "servings: 20" part. It is a dense loaf, but I'm not sure 20 servings is accurate. The pieces would be awfully small and that would not cut it for this yummy recipe!

Super easy with my Kitchenaid. My husband was wary to try some, but once he did he almost ate the entire loaf :) The longer it sat, the better it tasted (although it was all gone within two days).

I tried mixing the dough in my Kitchen Aid, but the dough turned out very dry and crumbly. Even after I baked it, the bread was extremely dry and crumbly on the outside. The middle actually tasted really yummy. I will make this again, but I will make the dough by hand.

The flavor was delicious and it was extremely easy to make. I made this for St P's day and it was a delight. However, I'm glad I wasn't taking it to someone else's house, because I did end up having to cut the big loaf in two and baking each half some more. I think it either needs to be made into two loaves, or the oven temp reduced and baking time increased. The outside was definitely done and even getting too done, but the inside was doughy and needed more time. I had to cut it in half, wrap the outsides with foil so they didn't dry out and burn too much, and cook for a bit more. Next time I'll make two smaller loaves from this recipe.

This recipe is so easy and so delicious. Also makes great biscuits - Add raisins if you want, split the dough into biscuit sized balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cook at 350 for 15-20 min or until golden brown on the top.
