The misconception about soda bread is that “it’s like a tea biscuit.” But that’s not right, according to Manahawkin’s Big Apple Bakery owner Jow Urciuoli. It’s actually quite sophisticated, he said, with the raisins, caraway seeds, some fresh buttermilk in there, and a little bit of Irish whiskey. But multiply the recipe as needed for the St. Patrick’s Day rush, and it ends up being quite a lot of whiskey, wink wink.
