Thanks to our hostess this week for Baking with Julia .......Cathy of My Culinary Mission made a gorgeous version with Gruyere cheese. Carla of Chocolate Moosey went a little more old school. Be sure to check out there blogs!
I love Irish soda bread. I came from a long line of Irish people. The Murphy's and the Mahoney's. I think that qualifies me as Irish! My Aunt Margaret used to make soda bread for us when we would visit . I remember tearing off chunks of the bread and dipping into hot homemade soup.
This recipe is straight fwd and super easy to put together. I chose to make mine old school with heaping spoon fulls of butter and Plum butter!

Looks wonderful! I loved the recipe too :)
Looks gorgeous.
Wasn't this wonderful? I'll have to make the original version and spread lots of jam on. Looks fabulous!
Anyone who has Murphy and Mahoney roots should be able to make fantastic Irish Soda Bread. Yours certainly looks like it passed the grade. It looks delicious. Plum jam - what could be better. Mary Hirsch

Your pictures are beautiful and so is your bread!
I agree!! there was something about having this crusty bread with butter!! plum jam would have been good too...
Loving the slice with plum butter!
I was nervous to try it without mixing anything in, but this looks beautiful!
Yours is beautiful. I made the original version. But my cuts were too deep and it divided my bread!!
Yours looks beautiful!!!
I imagine this would be just *delicious* dipped in soup! Although the plum butter looks great too!

Looks great! Loved how easy this was!
It looks a lot like mine. I also made a cinnamon sugar version which was my favorite.
Love a good rustic bread and yours looks great. Little irish here too. Just a little. Loved this one.
Very pretty staging! Wish I had some right now.

I need to stop looking at people's posts when I'm hungry! That looks delicious.
It looks so good and I can't wait to try it with soup. Or that plum butter you have in the photo, yum!
yes, with butter and fruit jam, this was delicious!
Dipped in soup...yummy! Looks great with the butter and jam!

Thanks for the lovely comment about my bread baking...and I can see here that you do just as well...this looks flawless and perfect to me! For some reason I was not in an Irish Soda Bread mood this year...first year in forever, so I didn't make this one. It's harder now that the boys are out of the house at college, etc., and not eating here daily...harder to get rid of food, so I am not making as much...only what I really really want to make. Mark and I just cannot keep up! lol Hope all is well there with you and yours!
