Real Irish Brown Soda Bread Loaf image

There are so many Irish soda bread recipes on the internet, many of them American not Irish at all. This is the standard loaf brown soda bread used all over Ireland. It is to us what the Tollhouse Chocolate Chip cookie recipe is to Americans! It's on the back of our national flour brand, Odlums. Think King Arthur. You can't go wrong with this recipe.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The bread was dry and crumbly, and it didn't have much flavor.
