Delicious and super easy. I have never tried an Irish Soda Bread, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but my entire family LOVED it! I followed the recipe except I did not put on the caraway seeds (I'm not a fan of them). The bread tasted great warm with butter! I can't wait to have some more in the morning! Thanks for the recipe!!
