Hello, Â I can’t believe it’s March already, can you? I’m so happy to be back today, it’s Susan from Love of Home with an easy Irish soda bread recipe that is sure to please. Do you find baking bread intimidating? I do, but the more I try it I’m pleasantly surprised with the results and it’s almost always easier than I think! This recipe is super simple with basic ingredients. I married an Irish boy so this is a nod to him and my kiddos, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. I also made a delicious cinnamon honey butter to go along with it.

The dough isn’t smooth, it’s pretty rustic. I was sure it wouldn’t turn out but it’s delicious!
