I'm from Pennsylvania, and my family is Irish, but I live in the South now where it's hard to find a traditional Irish Soda Bread.
Every year when St. Patty's looms, my Northern friends crawl outa the woodwork wanting to know when the soda bread is coming. Well here it is.

#goldenapron #post14 #breadsTraditional Irish soda bread has cross marking on top which indicates blessings of Lord and before baking 4 holes are poked in each corner of loaf to release fairies to prevent curse as per legend. This is healthy and delicious bread

Sometimes you just need to make a quick bread and this is one of my favorites. It is super simple and doesn't need to be proved. I like to toss in some dried fruit or berries as it adds a lot to the texture and flavor.
