Soda Bread
has been an Irish household staple long time before the potato became a national favorite. The essential ingredients in a traditional Irish soda bread are flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk. The acid in buttermilk reacts with the base of the baking soda to provide the bread’s leavening. So it doesn’t require yeast and no resting so it is incredibly fast to whip up. In this recipe, I add an egg to make the dough a lot richer. Another advantage of this bread is no time-consuming, very easy to make, without requiring skilled labor and temperature control like another yeast bread. Enjoy this real soda bread simply with Irish butter and jam, but no matter how you serve with, it will never go wrong!
Note :
If you don’t have buttermilk in hand, you can use 150 ml of fresh milk with 1 tablespoons of Lemon juice or white vinegar. Mix and let it stand for a minimum of 30 minutes before using.
