Irish Soda Bread (American Style) is my recipe of the day. This recipe is one I enjoy around St. Patrick’s Day. With that holiday coming up in a few weeks, I was already craving it. So you know that means it’s high time for this easy baked bread.

Irish Soda Bread (American Style)

Although the authentic type of Irish Soda Bread is not made the same way, both are quite similar. Some purists will say the American version tastes like cake. But that’s not really factual. It does have a light sweetness that is no more cake-like than raisin bread.

I like this with a pat of cold butter and some hot tea. It also goes well with a main dish like Irish stew or Bangers and Mash.
