Notes

If you are a muffin lover you can easily turn your Irish soda batter into Irish soda bread muffins. I like to add a teaspoon of caraway seeds to my muffins. Grab a greased muffin and fill 3/4 full with your mix, then sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of sugar and bake in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes.
You can also make air fryer Irish soda bread muffins the same way just bake them in the air fryer at 350 Degrees for 25-30 minutes.
For a shiny golden crust you can prepare an egg wash for your easy Irish soda bread recipe. Just combine 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water - mix together and brush over the top of your dough before baking.
If you don't finish your loaf of sweet and savory Irish soda bread use the remaining slices to make a delish Irish soda bread French toast. Just soak in a milk and egg wash and fry in the pan with a splash of olive oil, or air fry your Irish soda bread French toast in the air fryer for 5 minutes. Yum!
