Easy Peasy Irish Soda Bread

My Easy Peasy Irish Soda Bread recipe is quite literally the easiest Irish Soda Bread recipe you’ve ever seen! There is no sieving, no kneading, no proofing!

Easy Soda Bread Recipe

Ask me what I miss about Irish food living in the UK and the answer will be not a whole lot! Apart from a craving for the odd bag of Tayto crisps, food in the UK is pretty much the same as back home.

Except that is for proper soda bread.

You can buy Irish Soda Bread in shops and supermarkets here, but it’s usually dry and tasteless.

Thankfully I have a foolproof recipe which is quite literally the easiest Irish Soda Bread recipe you’ve ever seen!

There is no sieving, no kneading and no proofing required. Easy peasy!

Easy Brown Bread Recipe

Soda bread is traditionally made with buttermilk. But it can be hard to get your hands on that here, so instead I use yoghurt.

My recipe says to use hazelnut yoghurt (I like the subtle nutty taste it gives) but natural yoghurt is fine too.

If you are out of yoghurt you can use extra milk and sour it with lemon juice.

And if you don’t have a loaf tin you can simply mould the dough into an oval shape and bake on a greased baking tray. This recipe is so versatile!

Irish Wholemeal Bread

Soda Bread is so delicious warm from the oven and smothered with butter (proper butter, not that fake margarine kind!) and also with jam.

It’s also perfect for dipping into chunky soups or stews or try my super easy Smoked Salmon with Horseradish Sauce recipe.

    Hi – can you use buckwheat or brown rice flour instead of wholemeal?

      Hi, I haven’t tried it with either of those flours so I couldn’t say for sure if it would work, sorry.
