Homemade Irish Soda Bread with Raisins

This 6-ingredient traditional Irish soda bread with raisins is bursting with flavor and comes together in under 1 hour.

Irish soda bread is simple to prepare bread that uses baking soda as a leavening agent to help it rise. It has few ingredients and bakes in under 45 minutes for an incredibly flavorful loaf.

Soda bread typically is very dense and heavy, which will fill you up quickly. In Ireland, soda bread is better known as brown bread and uses a combination of whole wheat and unbleached white flour.
