Irish Soda Bread With Raisins

"Enjoy cozy comfort in every slice of this Irish soda bread with raisins. This Irish American recipe is slightly sweet, with a soft crumb that makes the perfect treat for any time of day. This is a great recipe to make with the kids for St. Patrick’s Day. Why We Love The Best Irish Soda Bread (With Raisins) • No Special Equipment Needed – You won’t need a stand mixer or anything else special to make this bread. While I prefer baking this bread in a Dutch oven, you can also bake it right on a baking sheet. This recipe makes a rustic round loaf, and you don’t need a bread pan. • Classic Irish American Recipe – This homemade bread recipe is delicious to make for St. Patrick’s Day or just to enjoy for breakfast or snacks. The Irish American version is a little lighter and softer and includes sweetness from the raisins. • Slightly Sweet Quick Bread – This Irish Soda bread recipe uses baking soda instead of a yeast bread to give it the soft, slightly spongy crumb that kind of reminds me a little bit of a scone. It does require a little kneading to mix the flour, but without yeast long kneading times aren’t needed and you don’t have to wait for a bread rise. This recipe is best when you serve warm with butter."
