    I love Irish soda bread anytime and not just for St. Patrick's Day. This is my mother-in-law's recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is now known as one of my kid's favorite loaves of bread as it really does have amazing flavor!

    What are the benefits of Caraway Seeds?

    Caraway is often used for digestive problems including heartburn, bloating, gas, loss of appetite, and mild stomach spasms. Caraway oil can help people cough up phlegm, improve control of urination, kill bacteria in the body, and relieve constipation.

    Why do you include Caraway Seeds and Raisins?

    It adds extra flavor, and my boys love raisins. They often call it Momma's raisin bread and enjoy it for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.

    How do you store Irish Soda Bread?

    Make sure to wrap well and you can enjoy it for several days after it has been cooked. It also freezes well so you can save it for a future time.
