The “cross” on the top of the bread is to let the fairies out… part of the Irish folklore! http://irishbaker.blogspot.com/2006/12/sign-of-cross.html

That looks really good! Recently found that King Arthur Flours has a flour that they call wholemeal and recommend for brown bread.

Irish soda bread was on my list of things to make yesterday until I decided it would be easier to just go over to a friends house for dinner instead of cooking the whole meal myself . I’ll keep this recipe in mind for next year.

Girl Japan, it’s a beat up silicone mat.

Aparna, thanks for letting me know. I had just submitted it for bread baking day.

Lori Lynn, that’s a damn nice birthday dinner. Have fun!

PG, must be so challenging to bake gluten-free things. Good luck if you ever decide to get into it!

Thanks everyone!

What a lovely idea and your soda bread looks exactly right. In fact they isn’t that much soda bread available in Dublin last time I was there and had to make it myself. Great simple recipe also.

This is quite the loaf of soda bread. I needed this a couple of days ago — I went non-traditional with mine this year, but yours has me wanting the real thing. Great recipe!

Your soda bread is lovely. I would giggle, too, if I wrote “spotted dick.” I’m very mature that way:)

Like my soda bread w/caraway seeds. Mmmm.

Excellent recipe and great tips. I’ve only got traditional whole wheat on hand but still worth a shot. Great tips too, I’m unsure why I don’t make it here more often!

wonderful! How i would love to bite into this.
I’m always afraid to come here and fine these lovely bread recipes. But, since a couple of months I know of my son’s allergies and now I can’t even think of trying out these. Not that they look as easy to me. I don’t have a good hand at it. Somehow since then I have totally lost interest in baking breads. I think have to summon up some courage to bake gluten free.
