bread of the Irish

On St. Patrick's day, it is necessary to bake Irish soda bread.
I baked this in our cast iron frying pan with a glass lid. The bread turns out much better in the pan than if you just bake it on a cookie sheet; the only disadvantage is that I have to re-season the cast iron after baking bread in it. Served with boiled potatoes and beer, 'tis very tasty.

This recipe is from the King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion
