We love it but my bread always develops a horizontal crack through the middle. Any ideas why this would happen?

This is an awesome recipe and so easy to modify to suit your taste. I tried the version exactly as written the first time and only changed currents to raisins and it was a wonderful addition to my St.Patricks Day table! Next time I added more orange zest and doubled the dried fruit to 1 Cup raisins and 1 Cup dried cranberries. Also added a little more salt. Next time I doubled the recipe and both loafs turned out perfect! Thanks Ina!! Love your show and am working on collecting all of your recipe books! You are awesome!!! Thanks!

Delicious! Moist and dense, and just the right amount of sweetness. While the original recipe is great, I've also tried it without the orange zest and with golden raisins instead of currants -- still scrumptious. Since the recipe called for 45-55 minutes in the oven, I tested it after 45 minutes and it was perfectly done. Another great recipe from Ina!

Disppointingly Dry. I used two large eggs, as someone else suggested in place of 1 extra large (which I did not have. Other than that, I followed the recipe. What happened?

Decent but fairly dry. Maybe I'm biased by a wife from an Irish family, but this year she decided to make this recipe for Irish soda bread. The initial taste was good, but required a substantial amount of butter to keep palatable. Better than the type of soda bread you can find in the grocery in Georgia, but not the best of the Emerald Isle.

This is a wonderful bread recipe. My husband just loved it. And my neighbors asked me what I was baking, because it smelled so good. You will enjoy this bread with just about anything. It is a heavy bread but so tasty. And easy to make. This is my go to recipe for homemade bread.

This was the best Irish Soda Bread I ever made! It was also very easy to prepare. Wonderful texture and lovely subtle orange taste!
