Most soda bread recipes in the States have twice as many ingredients as are found in this recipe but this is how the Irish make it. Great served with a hearty homemade soup or stew!1 lb all purpose flour
1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
about 14 fluid oz. buttermilk
Instructions:
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Gradually mix in the buttermilk to give a moist dough. Place in a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at 450 F/230 C for 30 minutes, until the loaf sounds hollow when turned out of the tin and tapped underneath. Place on a wire rack to cool.
Variation: Replace half of the white flour with wheat flour. Add sultanas to make a nice breakfast bread.
Yield: 1 large loaf.
