my first time making irish soda bread. delicious. had it along with corned beef for st. patricks day. i did slim this recipe down as i typically do. substituted splenda for the sugar and applesauce for the oil. used eggbeaters and powdered buttermilk with water. this cut out at least 1/2 the calories and the taste was phenomenal. thanks for a great recipe!

MMMM this was good! I had never made soda bread before and this was really tasty. Purests would kill me, but I didn't use the raisins or caraway seed. I made this bread because I didn't have time to make a yeast bread and forgot to buy bread to go with our dinner tonight. Instead, I added poppy seeds and minced onion to the batter. I baked it on a stone and then brushed the top with garlic butter when it came out of the oven. This has a biscuit like texture and is very tender and dense. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is the first time i have made soda bread and I have to say this was excellent. My very picky DH said "this is a keeper" "MMMMM". I am making a second loaf now for my SIL because it is her birthday. It is good enough to give as a gift I think the only thing I changed was I used 6 oz of dried cranberries instead of the raisins.

Very good but I should have baked it a full hour - our have a little doughy in the middle, however that didn't stop my family from eating this delicious bread. The only change I made was using regular raisins and a bit less caraway seeds. Thanks for sharing!

I made this for our St. Patrick's day corned beef dinner. I've had soda bread before, but not with eggs, raisins and caraway seeds. It was wonderful. My family loved it and I had to leave the loaf for my mom to have with her tea later. And, it was easy to make. I highly recommend it. Thanks.

Pretty easy to make, and delicious outcome! I've never made or eaten Irish soda bread before, and this recipe was a bit of an adventure for me. I made it for a St. Patty's Day program in my dorm (I'm an RA), and all the girls loved it!

This has got to be one of the best soda bread recipes I have ever made. When you are married to an Irish man, you need to know how to make soda bread.....this one is it.

Excellent soda bread. I just don't do raisins and added a bit more flour, but otherwise followed the recipe. Baked right at 40 minutes and it was perfect. Thanks for posting!
