Easy Irish Soda Bread

 Do you find baking bread intimidating? I do, but the more I try it I’m pleasantly surprised with the results and it’s almost always easier than I think! This recipe is super simple with basic ingredients. I married an Irish boy so this is a nod to him and my kiddos. I also made a delicious cinnamon honey butter to go along with it.

This delicious Irish soda bread is so easy to make with only 15 minutes of prep time! You can't beat fresh baked bread!

The dough isn’t smooth, it’s pretty rustic. I was sure it wouldn’t turn out but it’s delicious!

    Oh, it looks delicious! I made bread all the time when my girls were young. But now I have arthritis in both hands from a car wreck, and doubt I could knead dough.

    Baking soda isn’t in the directions. I assume it’s added with the rest of the dry ingredients?
