This was my first time to ever make or taste Irish soda bread. I made it for our St. Patrick's Day family get-together. It was wonderful. Very light in texture and the caraway seed adds so much to the flavor. I can't imagine anyone leaving this ingredient out. I am bread-making challenged and I thought this recipe was very easy to make. Thanks 1Steve.

I made this to go with our corned beef St. Paddy's Day dinner on the Zaar "Go Irish-Go Green" cook-a-thon on March 16/17, 2002. What a great choice! This was very easy to whip up, looked great, and tasted even better. Very light and very moist. I had to leave out the caraway seeds due to hubby's dislike of them, but I'm sure they would add a great taste. I used fatfree sour cream and it worked fine. Thanks for posting this, Steve; it's a real keeper!
