  Simple recipe for a great "brings me back home" loaf! I am cautious about the consistency of the mix so try to keep it sloppy enough to settle yet elastic enough to pick up with one hand... turns out perfectly! I do suggest a bit longer in the oven. Porkybaby: Tin is fine, just coat the tin with the plain flour then sprinkle more on top of the mix in the tin. 4 stars as I never give 5!

  Absolutely yummy recipe and so so easy to make! I have been eating my (irish born) mother-in-law's version for years and never felt it was anywhere near as good as the bought stuff (it comes out like a doorstop - so tough and strongly tasting of soda..), which was such a shame as homemade fare is usually so much better. Well I've found the ultimate recipe now (ie this one!), which I cooked for her on sunday. She did say she enjoyed it but I noticed she didn't ask for the recipe (although did grudgingly ask for a few details of it). Father-in-law loudly said it was the best bread he'd eaten. Tee hee.

  This is so easy and tastes great. Lighter than shop bought. I covered the bread with a tea towel but it still formed a crust. Didn't matter though as it was so good!

  Fantastic recipe. Looks, smells and tastes exactly like proper Irish soda bread. I panicked when I had a bowl of glue, but kept stirring with my knife and suddenly it all came together into a proper dough.

  I used Doves Farm Bread Flour and wholewheat flour as I am off the white refined stuff for candida, and it turned out great! Moist and chewy whilst still warm from the oven, I thought that it might be a bit dry from not using all gluten, but it wasn't the case. I also replaced the buttermilk with Tesco's Value Natural Yogurt and again, the result is awesome. Very happy in fact : )

  Made this recently and used ingredients as shown. Made 2 loaves as there was ample dough. At the end of stated cooking time I tapped the bottoms and decided they could do with another 5 minutes. Turned out perfect and not too salty like some loaves. Could hardly wait for them to cool down before tucking in. Froze the other loaf in portions. Am about to make another lot today. I will use this receipe regularly plus will probably experiment with different flours. Thanks for the nice easy recipe.

  This was my first bread making attempt and it turned out brilliant. As with other people's comments, it was a a very wet recipe but I read in other recipes to handle as little as possible so I just mixed, divded in half and put the two loaves in the oven. Delicious smell in the kitchen for a Sunday morning brunch.

  I have been making Irish Soda Bread for some time, using the following recipe; 5 oz wholemeal flour 5 oz plain flour 1tsp bicarbonate soda half tsp salt 300 ml buttermilk (natural Yogurt will substitute, but it,s not like the real thing. Soured cream turns the crust rather cakey!!) That's it. NO butter! Sieve everything into a bowl make a well and add the butter milk, bring together with a fork. Use your hand (Gently) for the last minute to roll into a ball and to gather the crumbly bits. Flour a surface. Shape into 8inch round, cut a cross into the top, to allow fairies to escape. Cook 180 degrees for 25 mins. Place a little PLAIN flour on baking tray first. Make sure before taking out of oven that you achieve hollow sound by tapping the bottom. Leave uncovered to cool. And Enjoy!!!!!
