Soda bread can come in all shapes, sizes and styles. While I was in Ireland I was able to sample many versions of this delicious bread and by the time the trip was over I knew what I loved most about an Irish Brown Soda Bread and what I wanted to create. While my version is not wholly tradition, I feel that it pays tribute to what I fell in love with on my trip.This bread had a deep rich flavor from the Guinness and a touch of sweetness from the honey and the brown sugar. Enjoy this hearty and delicious sweet brown irish soda bread on its own or beside a nice hearty Irish stew.
