🇮🇪 Ireland recipe
Soda Bread
Irish soda bread is a testament to the ingenuity of Irish home bakers. Born of necessity in the 1800s when domestic ovens were unreliable and yeast was scarce, soda bread relies on the chemical reaction between bicarbonate of soda and buttermilk to rise. The result is a rustic, craggy loaf with a tender crumb and a wonderful tangy flavor. The cross scored on top is said to let the devil out and bless the bread.
