When my Grandmother came over from the old country (Ireland) she realized that a lot of people here didn't like caraway seeds and a drier bread. She set out to make a bread that everyone would like and I believe she did it. My partner Jim and our daughter Navillus absolutely love it. I hope you who try it enjoy it also.
