Soda Bread

March 28, 2019 by Kayley 1 Comment

 

Soda Bread

Soda bread should really be on the table more often. Its generally (at least in my part of the world) only made to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and its such a shame.

Soda bread is so comforting and hearty. It’s simple to make, takes few ingredients, and hardly any time at all (other than baking). It’s a rustic, dense bread that is great for soaking up liquids.

I love to serve it with a good stew or soup. And when it’s paired with butter and jam, magic happens.

Soda Bread

I tried making this bread with several different types of flour and here’s what I found out:

All-purpose gave the best end texture. Not too dense, with a slightly fluffy chew. Cake flour was a disaster and I ended up throwing the whole loaf away because the texture was so unappealing. Bread flour worked out pretty well, but was a bit too chewy for my taste. I would imagine a whole grain flour would be quite nice with this bread, given it’s rustic nature.

Soda Bread

Don’t have buttermilk on hand? No worries. Just pour the milk in a small bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then use just as you would buttermilk!

Once the mixture has come together, shape into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
