Irish Soda Bread

Written by on in Breads, Ethnic Dishes

It’s been about 10 years since I came upon this delicious soda bread recipe. A lady named Karin posted it on the All Recipes site and am I glad she did, because it is scrumptious and so easy to make. The only change I made was to add raisins, as that’s what my family likes. I think you’ll agree its wonderful with or without the raisins!
