Soda Bread

It is hard to believe that any recipe from this cookbook would be a failure, but here it is. I am a baking disaster, and I require simple recipes and detailed instructions in order to be successful. But I have made the sweet tart pastry from this book very successfully, which I consider a baking master class, so how hard could this simple soda bread be? Well, the dough was way too wet and sticky. I should have followed my instincts and not baked it, but I did, and it stuck horrendously to one of my favorite pans. Which meant a lot of scrubbing for me. It wasn't quite done when I took it out of the oven, but I still tasted a little, and it was surprisingly tasteless. I think the amount of salt was off. I guess every cookbook, even excellent ones like this one, have at least one bad recipe. Leave it to me to find it.
