- This traditional Irish Soda bread has been eaten in Ireland for hundreds of years. Unlike American Irish soda breads, this contains no egg, or added sugar. It is super easy and quick to make - it requires no yeast or kneading. My soda bread recipe is tried and tested and it produces a delicious rustic bread that is dense yet soft on the inside.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups (360g) whole wheat flour
¾ cup (90g) all purpose flour, plus a handful for dusting
1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
2 teaspoons salt
1¾ cup (415ml) buttermilk
3 oz (90ml) water (approximately)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400°F (approx 200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Into a large mixing bowl, add in the whole wheat flour, all purpose (plain) flour, bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), and salt. Mix the ingredients well to combine.
Make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the buttermilk. Add in water and mix with a spatula until the dough begins to come together. If the dough is too dry, add a little more buttermilk. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in more flour.
Use your hands to finish working the mixture into a dough ball. Using floured hands, lift out the dough ball and transfer to the lined baking sheet. Pat to flatten the bread. Score four sections by marking a cross with a knife.
Bake in the middle of the oven for approximately 40 minutes. The bread is fully baked when the crust is golden brown and it sounds hollow when the underside is tapped. Move the baked bread onto a wire cooling rack.
Serve warm or cold with butter and jam or serve with a stew. This bread is best eaten the same day it is cooked but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
NOTE: This bread can be stored in a freezer for up to 3 months once it has been sliced, wrapped tightly in plastic cling film and then in aluminum foil.

Can I substitute sour milk for buttermilk?
Hi Ruth, that's a good question. Although I've not used sour milk for this particular recipe, I'm fairly confident you would get a good result. While the taste may not be exactly the same as buttermilk, it should work in terms of texture and making the bread rise. Hope that helps:)
@@SususCookbook Thanks. I thought I remembered having seen an actual old Irish recipe for soda bread printed on a linen dishtowel, that it called for sour milk. In the interim, since I asked the question above. I decided to try it, using your proportions only as a rough guideline, and going more by the texture and feel of the dough. This morning I had “spoiled” half of my breakfast oatmeal by adding milk that, although it was freshly opened and had a couple of days still on the printed “Best by” date, must have been mishandled somewhere along the way. It was very sour and completely unpalatable! But I hate to waste anything! I left the bowl of cooked oatmeal, sour milk, and grapes and blueberries in the refrigerator when I went off to church this morning. This evening I took my chances and put aIl of the “salvaged” breakfast cereal concoction into the soda bread recipe, adding some addition sour milk as needed. It is utterly amazing how delicious it turned out! The texture, too, was tender and moist. And the grapes and blueberries baked into the sour dough bread tasted even better than the fresh, raw fruit. Another plus of this “variation,” at least if made for St. Patrick’s Day: Crushing some of the fruit when I mixed the recipe, the juice from the blueberries gave the golden bread a slight greenish tint. It won’t “keep.” It is too delicious, so if you add blueberries at any other time of the year, someone MIGHT think it looks moldy, but the smell and taste will prove them wrong. Yum!
I had to chuckle when I read you had turned your bowl of oatmeal breakfast into a loaf of bread 😄 A very unique bread from the sounds of it. They do say that some of the best inventions come about by accident! Thanks for watching and taking the time out to ask and comment❤️
