Irish Soda Bread with Raisins and Caraway image

I have never made this, and doubt I ever will, since I'm not a fan or raisins. The reason for this submission is that this was a favorite recipe from Chef Jerry O'Leary, who worked in the corporate dining room at Cantor Fitzgerald's in the World Trade Center. Jerry lost his life on Sept 11. Taken from Oct 2002 issue of "Bon Apetit."

I'm allergic to raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The bread was still delicious.

I didn't have any caraway seeds, so I used fennel seeds instead. The bread still turned out great.

This bread is a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using less flour next time.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover raisins. I also like to add a handful of chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

5 stars! This is the best Irish soda bread recipe I've tried. The bread is moist and flavorful, and the raisins and caraway seeds add a nice touch. My family loved it.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this bread was to make. I didn't have any buttermilk on hand, so I used plain yogurt instead, and it worked perfectly. The bread turned out great, and I'll definitely be making it again.

This Irish Soda Bread with Raisins and Caraway is a delightful treat! The bread has a slightly dense and crumbly texture, with a beautiful golden-brown crust. The raisins and caraway seeds add a nice sweetness and a subtle hint of spice. I served it
