How Did You Like this Recipe for Irish Soda Bread?
**Fun Facts! – Irish Soda Bread began popping up in the mid-19th century when baking soda first became available for use as a raising agent. Easier and cheaper than traditional yeast. Also, traditional recipes call for buttermilk. However, in some recipes, the buttermilk is replaced by live yogurt (as I did here) or even stout. Which is on my to-do list!
Happy Baking!

I am making this bread right now. Is the dough supposed to be like cake batter consistency? Because that is how mine is and I followed the ingredients. I’ve never made soda bread I am used to making yeast bread.
I just made this..It was excellent!
The only change was I subbed 1 cup domestic beer for the yogurt.
