Irish Soda Bread

IMG_2263 (575x352)I’m running out of time to post all the recipes I’ve got on my list for St. Patrick’s Day, so I thought I’d better squeeze in this version of Irish soda bread.  Last year, I posted my go-to recipe for a traditional Irish bread.  Today’s post for Irish soda bread has a texture that is more similar to a dessert bread and is equally good in its own right.

For the past several years, I’ve made both types of Irish bread for home and for work.  Besides making a traditional corned beef and cabbage meal at home, my group at work makes it for a special lunch.  They were trying to decide whether to have it today or Monday and chose Monday when they found out I was off today.  I promised I would show up Monday with the Irish breads!

I’m enjoying all things Irish this week.  This past weekend, I made a fabulous chocolate stout cake with a Bailey’s Irish Cream white chocolate frosting.  Yesterday I had a corned beef sandwich for lunch at a local restaurant which was absolutely delicious.  Last night after a Spartan supper, Roger and I had a piece of Irish soda bread for dessert, slathered with butter.

If I can manage it, I’ve got one more new recipe to try before St. Patrick’s Day that has me drooling.  What can I say?  It’s been a bad carb week!
