soda bread

Buttermilk-leavened quick loaf

Soda bread is a quick bread leavened with baking soda rather than yeast.

The soda reacts with acidic ingredients—traditionally buttermilk—to produce carbon dioxide, allowing the bread to rise without lengthy proofing.

Irish soda bread is the best-known variety, often marked with a cross cut into the top before baking.
