Irish Soda Bread

Anyone can make Irish Soda bread at home! No baking skills are required. I say that because I have never made bread before, and all this recipe needs is 5-6 ingredients and 5 minutes of your time, and the oven does the rest of the work. Sounds great, doesn’t it? At least to me 🙂

We had this bread every day for breakfast until it ran out. It is soft and moist, like Banana bread, and tastes heavenly with butter. As far as the mix-ins for this bread are concerned, most people add raisins, but we chocoholics went for semi-sweet chocolate morsels.I will always be eternally thankful to AllRecipes magazine for introducing me to this recipe.

One last thing: it is called Soda bread because we use baking soda as the leavening agent instead of yeast.

Go ahead and try this recipe! The only thing I would like to add is to make sure your baking soda is not more than 6 months old.
