I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit dry and crumbly.

This soda bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, more airy bread.

I'm not a big fan of soda bread, but this recipe was really good. The bread was moist and flavorful, and the currants added a nice touch.
