"Caraway, for sure," was Kendall's answer. She and her family loved the bread so much, she decided to ask Kim Potter if we could share the recipe in the Spring issue of Gluten-Free Living. Kim generously said yes. But the more Kendall thought about it, the more she realized she wanted everyone to have the recipe.
So we include it here, just in time for you to make it for St. Patrick's Day. Kendall notes it is a little sweeter and cake-like than some traditional soda breads. She also says the flour you use is important. Kim used Mr. Ritt's flour, while Kendall made the loaf pictured here with King Arthur flour. She also recommends 1-2-3 Gluten Free Fortified flour, Cup 4 Cup flour or your own personal favorite.

This sounds like an interesting recipe. I have never had Irish Soda Bread so I may just have to try it ☺ I have tagged you with an award. Please go to my site to read more about it. http://allergiesandceliac.blogspot.com/2012/03/tagging-who-with-liebster-blog-award.html#more
Congratulations!
What GF flour do you recommend? Do you think I could use gf bisquick?
I used King Arthur Flour for a lot of my baking, including the Irish Soda Bread in this picture. I don't know about GF Bisquick, I suppose you could play around with it! The one thing you might need to play with is the baking soda and baking powder IF the GF Bisquick already has those ingredients in their mix.

There is no way this recipe will fit in a 9" cake pan. There is way too much batter. I ended up using two 8" pans. We'll see how it goes.
Ginny,
The Irish Soda bread in the photo was made in a 9-inch pan and it turned out fine, as you can see.
Perhaps it just looked like more batter than the pan could hold. How did it turn out using the two 8-inch pans?
This sounds very yummie. I cannot wait to give it a try :-)
