Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Added 2 teaspoons of caraway seeds to this. Before I added the currants, the dough seemed too dry, but I'd plumped them in a couple of tablespoons of hot water, so I drizzled in the soaking liquid until I got the right consistency - in this type of bread I prefer a sticky dough. Made a nice big loaf with lots of currants and not too sweet or cakey. Exactly what I was looking for in an American-style Irish soda bread. Could add another teaspoon of caraway - we really like the flavor. PS Subbed skim milk soured with vinegar for buttermilk.
