I realize now that I should have put up this wonderful little loaf up for St. Patty’s day! Oh well.
jotimaz and I had this with dinner the other night after a trip to Fred Meyers where we encountered Irish soda bread for the first time. Of course, the trusty bread books (each at least 2 or 3 inches thick) held the recipe to make our own. Oh my goodness! It was a gigantic warm crusty biscuit bread. I would have this bread again in a heartbeat. It would be a perfect “sop up soup” bread or even a nice bread to have with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa. Oh, and the beautiful cracks in the crust happened completely on their own! It came out looking like a rustic artisan bread even after jotimaz had forgotten to score it before going in the oven. =) YUM!
