I hate to go against all the five stars, but this bread was just average. I substituted one cup of white whole wheat for one cup of AP flour. We ate it warm last night and it tasted like corn bread. Today, now that it's cool, the bread is rather bland and there's a strong baking powder aftertaste. If I made this again, I would definitely decrease the amount of baking powder. I have made better soda breads and will probably not make this again.

Love this bread! Not considered "traditional" but is so much better than other recipes with currants - ick! Even better the next day, toasted and eaten with cinnamon and sugar on top

This is delish! Added raisins (store didn't have currents) and caraway seeds as previously suggested. We barely had any left over for the next day, this is keeper for sure!

If you do not have buttermilk you may use 1 tablespoon of vinegar for each cup of milk. This recipes was very easy to make and delicious. I did not need to make any adjustments, perfect the way it is. Thanks for sharing it!

I am not a fan of raisins so I added craisins. It turned out really good.

Nice and moist, much like Pampered Chef beer bread. I added raisins to half which was good, too

I made only one loaf. It was not enough, this bread went very quickly with 4 adults and 6 boys ages 18 to 2. LOVE this!!!

I made this for St Pat's day and it's delicious and SO easy to make. I am a very novice bread baker so I followed the instructions exactly. The loaf is almost gone and the bread is delicious with orange marmalade or cinnamon butter on it, too!
