pretty goods, but i rather like the ones that you must leave to rise frist.

I didn't have a skillet, or proper pan to cook this in, so I just formed it the best I could and baked it on a cookie sheet. It was tasty enough, but a bit flaky, like a biscuit. Didn't seem to have the dense quality of the usual Irish soda bread. I added some caraway seeds, too.

A couple of others said this did not taste like Irish soda bread. Having never tried Irish soda bread, I can't comment on that, but it was very good. The only changes I made were to put in a few more raisins, 1/2 t. salt and I baked it on a pre-heated pizza stone. I hate to admit it, but my wife and I ate half of it for dinner last night and the rest of it toasted for breakfast this morning. Possibly the best bread I have ever made and so easy, too.

I added a wee bit of salt and used dried chopped apricots and prunes instead of raisins. Very yummy. I will make this again.

VERY good. I loved this recipe. I added more raisins- it was super tasty. If you have leftovers heat the slices up in the microwave for 20-30 seconds; tastes just like it is out of the oven.

Yummy yummy yummy! I made this for St Patrick's day but it was so easy I could pretty much whip it up any time I wanted it. It had a really simple flavor that could go well with many different things, we ate it with butter and jam, it was a huge hit.

Excellent and easy! I get lots of compliments on this each time I make it.

I didn't know what to expect, but this was good. Sweet and not too dry. I took it to a St. Patrick's Day party and everyone liked it (even those who had had soda breads before).

A perfect, fast recipe. I've made it twice and it's been great both times. I usually like to fool around with ingredients but there's no need to with this one. Good stuff!

I made this with my students. It was so easy and they all liked it.

This is a very easy to make, wonderfully moist bread! I topped the bread with a melted butter & powdered sugar frosting.

I used olive oil instead of margarine, and soy milk instead of the buttermilk. I also added salt, and it was pretty good! We ate almost the whole loaf right away.

This recipe was extremely easy and took very little time. It was too powdery looking, but tasted okay. I made another one using 3tbls of margarine. It looks better but I believe brushing the top with egg white and water would give it a glazed appearance. It is very heavy and slightly sweet. I served mine with whipped cream cheese.

Please ADD SALT, a little will do you just fine. The first time I made this it was a total flop. One dash of salt could have saved this recipe. Second attempt with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, MUCH BETTER.

The best soda bread ever!!!
