Soda bread

Soda bread is a type of quick bread that uses baking soda as a leavening agent instead of yeast. When combined with acidic ingredients like buttermilk, the baking soda produces carbon dioxide, causing the dough to rise and become soft and airy. Traditional soda bread often includes basic ingredients like flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. It’s known for its hearty texture and slightly tangy flavor, with a dense yet tender crumb. Because it relies on baking soda, it can be prepared and baked quickly, making it a convenient and satisfying bread option.
