CNYEats A Taste of Utica Irish Soda Bread

There is no yeast in this bread recipe.  There is no sugar in this bread recipe.  There IS a blend of interesting flavors and a sweetness that comes only from the raisins. 

This recipe is going on Apple Crumbles favorites list.

On page 55 of our book, A Taste of Utica,   Toni Leone Guzski has posted another good recipe.  It is easy and it is good and it’s NOT just for the Irish nor is it only for St. Patrick’s Day.  This bread recipe is recommended for baking at least once per month.  It’s THAT good. 

The bread ingredients went together in 10 minutes and was baked and ready to eat in 45 minutes.  Can’t beat that!
