Great Bread! I originally made if for St Patrick's Day and now I make it all of the time because it is so easy! Only about 10 minutes of prep and you have fresh bread for dinner. I changed the cooking time to only 40 minutes and it is perfect. I also do 1 cup whole wheat flour to make it a little healthier. FYI, it is also a very wet dough but that is what makes it so moist. Great for any occasion!

Perfect, simple bread recipe. I always make this with corned beef and cabbage - everyone loves it. I normally change something in a recipe, but not this one - perfect as is!

Excellent. Didn't do anything different and it was wonderful. Mixing it up, I thought, "This is going to be a giant [American style] biscuit. Not so, it was a wonderful bread. My only lesson learned was that I didn't cut my X deep enough. But the loaf in the oven now is just right. Can't wait until supper! Thank you for this great, authentic recipe.

I made this for the first time for St. Patrick's Day. It was pretty easy to make and everyone, including myself loved it! Will make again for stews/soupts, etc.!

Very nice soda bread. I did use buttermilk instead of the milk vinegar combo. Thanks!

YUM! I baked it in a loaf pan and spread an egg white on top. I reduced the cooking time (as others suggested) to about 34 minutes. My kids ate it all and asked or more! I just vigorously stirred it with a spoon for 30 seconds without adding additional flour. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

This is a very easy, very tasty, very authentic soda bread recipe. I agree with other reviewers who said that the baking time is too long. I baked mine for 30 minutes and it turned out beautifully. This is a sticky dough, so I try to handle as little as possible. I just mix it with a stand mixer and scrape the dough out directly onto the baking sheet, making a roughly mound shaped lump. Then I sprinkle a little flour on the top, pat the dough into a reasonably neat rounded shape and slash an X in the top.

Simple and authentic, and best of all very easy to throw together quickly with ingredients that are on hand. I actually used real buttermilk rather than the milk/vinegar substitution, but I'm sure the substitution works fine. I also only baked for about 30 min (and did three loaves on the cookie sheet) and got the perfect level of done-ness. This recipe is great and tastes like bread I ate as an exchange student in Ireland years ago.

I'm not too familiar with soda bread, so I don't know how authentic this one tastes. But I can tell you that it is one good bread. Slightly sweet, crusty on the outside and soft but dense inside. Everyone loved it, and I am looking forward to using it for corned beef sandwiches. Made exactly as written. I was concerned that the dough seemed wet, but I stuck with it and kneaded a little more, and the dough turned out very nice.
