Irish soda bread
Dense bicarbonate loaf
Irish soda bread is a traditional quick bread leavened with baking soda rather than yeast.
The soda reacts with buttermilk to produce rise, yielding a dense, slightly tangy loaf with a distinctive cross scored on top.
Basic versions contain only flour, buttermilk, salt, and soda; variations add raisins, caraway seeds, or butter: She made Irish soda bread for St. Patrick's Day.
