Lovely. Really "Irish" soda bread is just a scone, isn't it? I added caraway seeds. So tender and luscious. Perfect with corned beef, scalloped cabbage and white beans with paprika. MMmmmmmm!

Really good! Used Stoneyfield Farms fat free plain yogurt with good results. Love caraway seeds in soda bread but forgot to add them, definitely will next time. Really liked this healthy version. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was great! I will definitely make this again, though I want to try different dried fruits next time. Thanks!
