Used lowfat plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Tasty, nice texture. Quick and easy.

I made this for my Irish grandma for Christmas, and she was so happy because it reminds her of her childhood, when her mother made Irish soda bread almost every day. Also, I made it with mini chocolate chips bc I didn't have any caraway seeds--this was lucky because my grandma said they get stuck in her dentures! It was great with the choc chips.

This recipe turned out great! I did do a few modifications based on other recipes and what was on hand but the end result was as close to perfect as I'm gonna get. First, I didn't have a full pint of sour cream so I substituted part buttermilk. As another reviewer said, the end result was too moist, so I added flour enough to work the dough. I set the convection oven for 350 because 325 seemed low. Instead of bread pans, I used two cast iron frying pans, as is - no grease, no flour. I sifted the dry ingredients a couple of times for even distribution of the ingredients. Then mixed in the wet ingredients just a little bit with a handful of raisins and maybe a tablespoon of caraway seeds. Then barely kneaded the dough and wasted no time getting the end result into the oven. Usually my soda breads come out a little bit dense and a little heavy. Not this one. It was nice and light, which was probably due to cutting way back on the mixing and kneading. Another recipe noted that the baking soda starts working as soon as it hits the buttermilk/sour cream and its important to work fast.

I cannot believe how good this recipe is. And EASY, too! After spending 2 weeks in Ireland a few backs, I have been trying to replicate the taste that my husband & I fell in love with over there. This is it!

My rating is on taste and the fact that it keeps which authentic Irish soda bread does not. Our preference is to cut sugar back to about 1/2. Still like my old type Irish soda bread but this is an acceptable substitute!!!! Thanks for submitting.

Terrific recipe which I will make again. Used 1 c. whole wheat pastry flour and 3 c. white flour, along with lite sour cream. It was too sweet for my idea of soda bread, so next time will use only 1/2 c. sugar. Loaves were done after 50 minutes and looked nice enough to give as gifts. Followed a previous suggestion to cover with foil after removing from oven to let steam for 30 minutes. Worked great!

Not a typical soda bread, but very good. Made it in a loaf pan because it was so moist.

i have 4 boys and we loved this!!Even when my parents came to visit they raved over this bread...After it was done baking, i brushed the top with butter and wrapped in foil like another review suggested to lock in the moisture. Excellent sugestion as the bread stayed moist for several days. Will make this again and again. WONDERFUL recipe. Thanks!!

My family flipped over this soda bread. Having a strong Irish heritage, my mother had doubts when she saw the recipe. When it was done, she couldn't stop eating it!

I served this on St. Patty's Day 2008 for the neighbors and us. It really stole the show. I used golden raisens instead. I also put all of the dough in one pan and just kept it in a little longer at a slightly lower temp. It is very moist, no one will mind that it is not like "traditional" soda bread.

I love this bread! It is hard to tell what it will be like when making it. The dough is very gooey, sticky and thick. I had to add a couple TBL of milk to help me mix the entire dough. I didn't use my stand mixer (attempted to do it by hand) but I think the mixer would make it easier. I used a mix of golden raisins and cherries (dried), I think about 1/2 cup more of fruit would make this amazing! Also about 1/2 way through I coated each loaf with butter. Be careful to put the same amount of dough in each pan, I didn't and had to leave one loaf in for an extra 10 minutes. Ate it warm out of the oven with some butter and coffee... what a great treat! This is a great breakfast item, or a light dessert. AMAZING!

I have made this my new Irish Soda Bread recipe! My old recipe was a dry and crumbly bread. I've made 3 batches in the last week and EVERYONE who tastes it, loves it. Even DH who doesn't like soda bread can't get enough. In one of the batches I added ground caraway and sprinkled the top with a little cinnamon sugar. MMMM. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

I have made this the last couple of St. Patrick's Day as a treat for my husband (who is Irish) and my daughter, and even for friends. Everyone has loved it. I think the sour cream gives it a nice texture. I will definitely keep making this recipe!

This was GREAT for a themed St. Patricks day party. We used real butter and jams, divine! Also tried lemon curd with it, that was the best. The warmness is what makes this.
