    I've made this and several other Irish Soda bread recipes from this site and this one is hands down the best. Moist, tender - its become my go to recipe. have substitued dried cherries and cranberries for the raisins. Still a great recipe.

    This recipe was super easy to follow with excellent results. The bread is moist, dense, and chewy. Based on prior reviews I cut back on the raisins by 1/2 cup and rather than soaking in water I used Irish whiskey. I also omitted the caraway seeds because I don't care for the flavor. Next time I make this I will probably increase the sugar by 1/4 cup for a slightly sweeter taste and I may experiment with different dried fruit such as currants or tart cherries. One thing's for sure, I will be making this again!

    I thought this bread had great flavor, but way too many raisins! Yikes when I cut into the bread it was all raisins and little bread, it overwhelmed the great flavor of the bread. I would make this again but with only 1 cup of raisins. I also omitted the caraway seeds.

    Amazing, easy, tasty, tender. Good with caraway or without. Decreased the raisins by about 1/2 cup, but the mix of both yellow and regular raisins definitely adds to the flavor. My Go To recipe!

    Amazing! Best soda bread I've ever had. I used half dried currants and half golden raisins. I also omitted the caraway seeds. I made one in a loaf and one in a round. The round flattened a little more than usual, but still tasted amazing!

    The best I've tasted! Not dry at all. Delicious! I omit the caraway seeds because I don't care for them. Highly recommend trying!

    Less raisins and less caraway seeds would make the best bread ever.
