Summary
I made two Irish Soda Breads for St. Patrick's Day this year, and this one was superior. And it is really, really easy! If you eat it hot out of the oven, it melts in your mouth like a warm cornbread. If you let it sit a few hours, it hardens into a thicker texture with the same great taste. You won't be disappointed!

This is a great soda bread. It goes with almost anything. I had a warm piece with just a little butter this morning for breakfast. Yum!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
