It's not every day you just throw together homemade bread. But it could be. And to make these slightly sweet, dense yet tender loaves, you don't even need to have made bread before. Or even know that there is more than one kind of flour. You just need to know that in about 40 minutes you will be pulling some awesome-smelling miracles from your oven. This Irish Soda Bread recipe from my friend Connie is a go-to when I'm serving cheese, brunch (awesome warm with jam) or having a soup and salad.
