Soda bread is a great option for anyone new to making bread at home - there's no yeast, no need for kneading and no rising time. |
Rather than relying on yeast fermentation, soda bread is raised through a chemical reaction between the bicarbonate of soda and acid in the dough and the acid, producing carbon dioxide gas bubbles when heated in the oven and causing the bread to rise. Traditionally Irish soda bread uses buttermilk as the acid, but you can also use yoghurt, kafir or lemon juice as in this recipe.

This recipe from Órfhlaith Noone is inspired by traditional Danish rugbrød - moreishly chewy, dense, and a great way to use sourdough starter. It’s straightforward to make, but it's worth reading through the instructions a couple of times to get familiar with the timings before you begin.

This dish combines subtly fruity, savoury, sweet and acidic flavours, all in one. Inspired by the classic Syrian red pepper dip muhammara, it's best paired with crunchy fresh veg and flatbreads.
