This is a great recipe. I've used it for a couple of years now, and I find it to be extremely easy and so delicious. I haven't used currants when I've made it, although it does sound good. Also, I've skipped the glaze. It works 'plain' like this as well. Thanks for sharing!!

I'm with Cornelia - I'd never had Irish Soda bread in my life until tonight. I had planned corned beef and cabbage for dinner and forgot to put some bread in the machine so I thought, what about Irish Soda Bread and did a search on it to figure out how it was made. The timing worked out perfectly and we all LOVED it! I didn't have any currants so I used raisins instead. Warmed with lots of butter, it was a treat with our dinner. I have a feeling I will be repeating this bread with all sorts of other recipes. Glad I found this one. Thanks!

Not only was this the first time I made Irish Soda Bread, it was also the first time I ate it. I have no idea what Irish Soda Bread is "supposed" to be like, but this was excellent! Slightly sweet, slightly tangy... I couldn't stop eating it! Next time I will have to make a half recipe so that I don't eat so much of it! The only change I made to the recipe was to leave out the currants, since my husband doesn't like them.
