I have several recipes for soda bread. This one is a little drier than the one I was usually make. I added raisins for a little texture and caraway seed because I like the flavor. All in all a good bread. Co-workers and my Irish-Italien husband liked it. When it's a day old try topping it with the cinnimon honey butter that's also on this site.

Mine came out awful! I think it must have been that my WW flour was too old or something. Even the dough didn't act right! I'll try again sometime with fresh whole wheat flour. MIne came out like big flour bricks! Probably my fault though, so I'll leave the rating at 4 stars and just warn folks to use fresh ingredients! (I actually WAS trying to use up that old flour! Oh well!)

Five stars for simplicity. I used all-purpose white and special-for-bread whole wheat flour and this turned out great. Used fake buttermilk - 1 tbsp vinegar for each cup milk and let sit 10 minutes on counter. Stirred about 1 cup of raisins into the flour mix before the milk to make raisin bread. Tasty and chewy, great warm with jam and honey.

It tastes good, but I like another soda bread recipe better. I don't know if I did something wrong, or if the dough was supposed to be so sticky. Might want to add a little extra flour.

Because the recipe allows for some variation, I used some coconut milk that I had sitting around. I also added cinnamon and 1/4 t extra baking soda. The bread turned out great.

Excellent! This bread tastes exactly as I remember it in Ireland; great warm with butter and jam. Easy to make. Thanks for sharing it.

this had really good flavor, except, being the ignorant 15 year old cook that I am, I wasn't expecting it to be like a flat bread. I had wanted to make a loaf og bread but thats ok it still came out good! and hey, you learn something new every day!

this recipe produced two fine loaves of very flavorful bread Prep couldn't have been easier...a good project for kids. It had the "bite" from the soda and the buttermilk that makes the bread so wonderful. I shipped it to two friends and it arrived in perfect condition and was enjoyed by all!
