If you don’t have buttermilk, see my recipe note about a DIY version.Ī sprinkle of oats, seasonings, and/or coarse salt on top is optional! Buttermilk: Buttermilk, an acidic ingredient, adds richness, flavor, and aids in the loaf’s rise.Honey or Sugar: Either work with zero changes to the recipe required.The bread isn’t quite as heavy and rich as my grandmother’s recipe, but it’s still plenty flavorful. I played around with this dough A LOT and found that I could successfully use melted butter and skip the cutting step (in conjunction with leaving out the egg). Butter: You’ll notice that I use melted butter in this loaf while my Irish Soda Bread uses cold butter that you cut into the flour.Do not use baking powder– you will need an excessive amount in order for this bread to rise and that much baking powder will leave a chemical aftertaste. Baking soda is our leavening agent and if you remember from my baking soda vs baking powder page, baking soda requires an acidic ingredient. Baking Soda: This is a quick bread, so the bread rises without the use of yeast.Salt: I use 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of fine sea salt for flavor, but have also tested this recipe with the same amount of regular table salt.

There’s no complicated shaping or kneading necessary and I offer plenty of flavor suggestions. Adapted from my Irish Soda Bread, this dense loaf is made from just 6 ingredients and ready in about 1 hour. This wonderfully easy and convenient no yeast bread is also known as soda bread.
