Just a little input from Dublin! Brown soda bread should never have raisins/fruit in it, they only go into white, which is sweeter. And we never call any bread Spotted Dick, that’s strictly an English thing! They’re simply brown or white sodas.

The BEST thing to eat this with is salted real butter. Delicious! Oh, and if you find the crust is too hard when it comes out of the oven, cover it with a damp tea-towel for half an hour, it’ll soften it right up.

Loving your blog, btw.

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.
