Irish Bread image

When I first made this bread many years ago, my husband said it looked and tasted like the bread he remembered having when he was growing up in Ireland. Over the years, I've made many loaves to serve to guests in our home and for church bazaars. I always receive compliments on it.

I love the nutty flavor of this bread. It's a great way to use up leftover walnuts.

This bread is perfect for sandwiches. It's sturdy enough to hold up to all your favorite fillings, but it's also soft and fluffy.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts with raisins. It turned out great!

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy bread. I love that I can just mix the ingredients together and bake it without having to wait for the dough to rise.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't rise properly. It's still edible, but it's not as light and fluffy as it should be.

This bread has a great flavor, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bread is a bit too dense for my taste. I think it would be better if it was a little lighter and fluffier.
