Real Irish Soda Bread image

I have never found an Irish Soda Bread recipe (or commericially available loaf) that can hold a candle to this recipe. It is simple to make and you can also mix the dry ingredients, add a hang-tag listing the wet ingredients and baking instructions and you have an outrageously good gift. This is an absolutely authentic Irish recipe, and if you have never had a Soda Bread with fruit or caraway, it is probably due to the baker's preference to omit it, cost cutting measures or the way in which this recipe is prepared in a few regions of the country. Note: If you don't like caraway seeds, currants or raisins, don't add them. And don't overmix this dough. I blend wet and dry ingredients with a large spooon only until incorporated. Also, if like Pretty111, you provide a low-star review because you THINK the recipe isn't traditional, don't bother. This recipe is not listed as "traditional", just delicious. I think that if you do not try a recipe, you have some nerve giving it a low-star review. It is just unfair.

I'm a big fan of soda bread, and this recipe is one of my favorites. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. I love the way the bread is slightly dense and crumbly, and the raisins add a nice sweetness.

This is the worst soda bread I've ever had. It was dense and dry, and it had no flavor whatsoever. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not a huge fan of raisins, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The sweetness of the raisins balanced out the slightly sour flavor of the bread perfectly.
