Irish Soda Bread is delicious and like all recipes, you can make your own changes to please your taste. I discovered one tip from a recipe that I looked up years ago - use raw, unsalted sunflower seeds and mix them in thoroughly. The chemical interaction of the soda and the raw sunflower seeds causes the seeds to turn a beautiful, emerald green that looks fantastic when you slice into the bread. For all rather plain bread recipes, I like to add a handful or half handful of a variety of nuts, seeds, even tiny bits of citrus peel (any time I have lemons, limes, oranges or even grapefruit, I use the peels to make different sizes and types of zest and peel tidbits. I always make certain that I wash the fruit with a good produce wash, but I do that even if I'm not saving the peel for later use because anytime you drag a knife blade through the skin/peel, etc. and into the flesh that you plan to eat, you can transfer chemicals and toxins from the outside to the inside. After I've cut a variety of sizes and shapes from the citrus peels, I put them in a sandwich baggie and roll them up, then I place all of them together into a one gallon or quart freezer bag and they will be fresh and fragrant for many months. Use them in hot cereal, rice/quinoa/barley, baked goods or cold pasta salads - so good and good for your health.)
My family and I have never been to Ireland, but we LOVE Irish soda bread. It works as a side bread for main meals or even as the meal itself (for breakfast).
Wrong lady, baking soda (Bicarbonate of Soda), not baking powder. That's an amateur mistake, you can't even see that? Anyone who uses this "recipe" will not get anything like a traditional Irish Soda Bread.

I am confused, the video shows 2 tsps of baking soda, she also says that, but in the mix she says baking soda. Which one is it, or both?

No, it's baking soda. You're right about her saying baking powder, trust me... That's not gonna work.
Also she did not mix the rising lngredients before adding the milk
