This is not a new recipe but it is my favorite when it comes to Irish Soda Bread!
Growing up, my best friend lived right across the street and let me tell you, her dad perfected Irish Soda Bread! Using his recipe as my base, I make few clean, simple, & d’lishes substitutions to create my version of this St. Patty’s Day favorite.
I like my Irish Soda Bread on the “drier” side… kinda like a big fat scone. So if you’re anything like me, this might be the perfect recipe for you!
Happy St. Patty’s Day!

Back in Jersey, every St. Patty’s Day we would somehow end up with loaves and loaves of Irish Soda Bread in our kitchen. It seemed everyone on the block would be comparing and contrasting different recipes in order to come up with the perfect combination, and of course, what better way to test your recipes then on your neighbors!
So, after years of trial and error I have settled on a what has come to be my favorite recipe for Irish Soda Bread… it comes from a family I grew up with, and I simply added in some of my healthier substitutions. This recipe has the perfect hint of sweetness, with a dry texture embodied with plump, golden, raisins and crunchy caraway seeds, just the way I like it! Try toasting it up with a light spread of butter…yum!!

Hey Dani,
Love your new site. Waiting for another recipe instalment. Hope all is well!
Nice video. I just tried making an Irish soda bread and it was pretty good. The next time I make it I will be adding some raisins and caraway seeds.
Kevin – Oh yeah…you gotta have the raisins and caraway seeds;).
I love your videos! For someone like me, who does not have a lot of cooking/baking experience, it’s really helpful to see it all done.
