Editors Review
What we know of Irish Soda bread with the raisins and caraway seeds would be unknown in Ireland, although possibly it has made the trip back across the Atlantic by now! Watch Betty Bannerman Busciglio show you how to make the American version of the classic plain Irish soda bread. This recipe does make a delectable bread to serve as a side to corned beef and cabbage on Saint Patrick’s Day.Chef
