Irish Soda Bread with Raisins and Caraway image

I have never made this, and doubt I ever will, since I'm not a fan or raisins. The reason for this submission is that this was a favorite recipe from Chef Jerry O'Leary, who worked in the corporate dining room at Cantor Fitzgerald's in the World Trade Center. Jerry lost his life on Sept 11. Taken from Oct 2002 issue of "Bon Apetit."

I've made this bread with both white and whole wheat flour. I prefer the whole wheat version because it has a heartier flavor and texture.

The bread turned out a little dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter or milk next time.
