This looks like a good recipe to try for ST. Patrick's Day.
I think that it would be better to make it on the dough only cycle, shape it into a more traditional soda bread shape, slash and then bake in the oven. Does anybody have any guess on the time and temp to oven bake? I know to bake it until it sounds hollow when tapped. I'd try 375*F for 30-40 mins based on other recipes for Irish Soda Bread.
