For a richer flavor, substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 1/4 cups of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits like currants or cranberries, or add a tablespoon of caraway seeds for a more savory bread. To ensure even baking, rotate the bread halfway through the baking time.

Aug 4, 2024I've tried many Irish Soda Bread recipes, and this one is by far the best. The instructions were clear, and the bread turned out beautifully. Thank you!
