What is Soda Bread?

This yummy soda bread recipe is one of my very favorite bread recipes to prepare because of its simplicity and it’s also one that my kids love to make with me! In the United States, soda bread is commonly called “Irish Soda Bread” which is a sweet bread that is made with baking soda. The baking soda leavens the bread (helps it rise without yeast). So this bread is perfect for beginners because there is no kneading or rising time involved! This dense and unleavened bread is made with simple pantry ingredients. Known as a table bread, which is a bread that can be toasted with butter for breakfast, cooked at lunch with cheese, or with dinner as a side at the table to your main dish! This bread is sweet and “soda-licious” (I couldn’t resist that pun)! Your family will absolutely love it.

Ingredients in Soda Bread

Traditional soda bread uses baking soda of course! Plus a few other ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. See the recipe card at the bottom of the pot for exact measurements.

Buttermilk: You can use storebought or Homemade Buttermilk for this recipe! Egg: A large egg will bind the dough together. Flour: I used all purpose flour for this recipe. Granulated Sugar: This makes this bread sweet! Baking Soda: The baking soda acts as a leavening agent to make the bread rise. Salt: This will enhance all of the flavors in the bread. Butter: Use chilled and unsalted butter when making the dough. Currants: You can use these or raisins instead. Either are optional.

How to Make Traditional Soda Bread

Get ready for a super easy bread that will impress all of your guests! It’s delicious and simple to make.

First, check your oven temperature. Chances are it could be too high. If you don’t have a thermometer to check the internal temperature of your oven then try lowering it. Place a loose tent of foil over the bread to avoid it from overcooking the outer later and continue cooking on the lower temperature so the middle can fully bake.Second, make sure you’re using the correct pan size. If your pan is too small and the dough ball too high it will take longer to cook.
