I did enjoy the results but modified it slightly by (as many have said) reducing the raisins to 2 cups with hydrating them first before adding. I did not have a round pan (was at my bf's) so I used a bread loaf. I let the dough (which was very sticky) sit in the greased load pan 30 minutes to marry the moistness with the bread flour with the buttermilk as it common). The caraway seeds (like them in general) did ad a great flavor and I will do the same recipe next time I make this bread. I have made other ISBs on this site and this recipe will be added to those other recipes I will enjoy again and again.

I made this for my sons culture fair. It was a big hit! Super easy to make. I did use bread flour, because thats all I had, and it turned out great. We received lots of great reviews at the fair. My son has all ready asked me to make it again.

I really enjoyed this bread. I didn't make any changes and it turned out great. It froze very nicely as well.

I have been trying to make a good Irish soda bread for over 20 years. Being of italian decent never knew about it until it was introduced by my born in Ireland mother in law. Since my Irish mother in law passed 20 years ago taking her recipe to the grave, my husband tells me not as good as Mom's. never gave up. Well I need to say this is it. Finally my PITA husband agreed, this is outstanding. Follow exactly and it is fool proof.

This bread is delicious! I made it for our St. Patrick's Day party and received many compliments and requests for the recipe. I followed the recipe with the exception of reducing the amount of raisins to two cups rather than three. I give it a rating of 5 stars!

I made this for a St. Paddy's party and it was definitely a hit. Very moist. Raisins could be omitted if not a fan favorite

I enjoyed it; it tasted very authentic and a good way to enjoy St Paddy's Day. However, for personal preference I too would have dropped the caraway seeds and added a bit more sugar for a sweeter bread.
